User Reviews

Goofs in the movie

Terrence J's characters name was Michael Hanover,he introduced himself as this in the beginning and in the end of the movie, however in the middle of the movie in the scene where Regina Hall answers his phone she addresses him as Michael Atwater. You would think editors would have caught this when reviewing the film but I guess some things slip through the cracks. I played this back several times just to make sure I wasn't imagining things but there it was. Now I'm curious to see the other goofs in the movie that I may have missed. Overall, I did enjoy the movie. It would have also been nice if Kelly had a bigger role in the film.
