Eh, it's okay, 9 September 2006

It's not as bad as some people say. Some of the jokes are worth a chuckle. The acting isn't spectacular but not terrible. Although they could have done a better performance. I think they should have gotten Elizabeth Hurley to play Kirstie Alley's role. She wasn't very convincing as a British sex bomb. You could kinda tell Rodney was dying. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he saw how much people hated his movies 1992- on and got a heart attack from reading the comments. Yeah, that joke is in bad taste. If you're a Rodney Dangerfield fan, I bet you'll like it even though he's not in it much. But if you're not a Rodney fan, you won't like it very much. C
