It was a hot day and I decided to hit a movie. "Dickie Roberts" just happened to start at the right time for me. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Great script, perfectly cast (especially the kids) and it was really kinda heartwarming.
If you're a pop culture nut, you'll get a big kick outta seeing all the former child stars in the poker scene and then again at the end (stay for the credits).
Spade completely pulls it off. Lovitz is his usual outstanding (but then again I'm a big Lovitz fan).
Go see it. C'mon, go ahead.
