Officer Holland: Look, laddy we just about had it with you. Go home and if something comes up we will let you know. This case is all about official police business we don't need you...

Okay, I am obviously alone here.
I thought this movie was funny but too short.
Peaches rocked.
The gold-digger wife was (is) hot.
Loretta Devine as the secretary...flawless.
The acting-VP with the college degrees...or...no degrees, going berserk...could it be any funnier?
The sandwich getting body slammed on the roadside? funny shtick.
And the fifty-cent music...perfect!
I thought this movie had a lot to offer. It was just too short. The credits were rolling but I was wanting more.
Remember, it is not true to life. It seems that "black" films are required to either represent true life or contain a "do-good message" for the youth.
I'd prefer to go to a movie to laugh and be entertained.
I thought this film was entertaining.
King's Ransom was funny but too short.
I've seen it twice just to make sure.
