Storyline

Once upon a time, there lived a tiny, insecure man who learned the only way he could make his enormous ego feel comfortable in his teeny, tiny body was to embarrass, humiliate, and torture others. He thought he was a master of disguise, fooling others into believing he was a big man. Yet he was only fooling himself, and through time his unconscionable behavior repulsed and repelled everyone. If his heart was three or three-hundred sizes too small, it didn't matter by then because no one was around to even care... Written by George Wilson

I was pleasantly Surprised!! A+++
25 August 2008 | by (Netherlands) – See all my reviews

This one was actually one very funny movie indeed....The fact that Bob actually KNOWS KUNGFU helped the believability a whole lot!

A lot of sexual talk and innuendo without nudity? Yes, apart from Bob's own naked butt, which I personally didn't find offensive :D....

Story is not the most original, but who cares when it is executed without flaw, the acting, sets and people are actually believable...

NOT TO BE MISSED!

I would see it again and would probably laugh my ass off just as much. As a matter of fact, I think I am actually going to watch it again tonight.
