A Fun Movie, 15 February 2003
6/10
Author: stanwayne1 from Weston, Maine

I went only because I had time to waste today before seeing "The Recruit" my comments on that film appear elsewhere.So I did not expect much. There were thousands of young children there. Well, there were lots of kids there. I enjoyed the movie. It was silly and of course totally preposterous but thats exactly why I liked it. The characters were enjoyable and some hilarious moments. Go see it but don't expect an academy award.
