Glad to know at least someone agrees with me!

I think the trouble with this sort of film as well is that you need to be in the right sort of mood for it - if I'd been feeling more critical or wanted a more serious film, maybe it wouldn't have got such a good review.

Thanks for the comment! :-D

That not a lot of folks seemed to like this one, but I too found it to be just good-hearted fun, and as such...very enjoyable. I think perhaps people are coming to expect to much of films, becoming jaded. Either that or folks are just plain forgetting how to have fun. Good write up!

Sanity? What's that??

"that's because you have the sense to agree with me usually." - yes, and most of the time even before I know what your opinion is - clever, huh? :-D

Ahhhhhhh... just give me a minute to breathe from the insanity.

Wait a minute.. why I am I coming here for sanity?

I'm pretty sure I'd like this, we do seem to enjoy the same things for the most part. Of course, that's because you have the sense to agree with me usually.

Ah, I get ya now. I did wonder if you meant something like that!

Jailbird pics always make me think of that scene in Raising Arizona... "Face to the left... face to the right..."...

Back already...

Try this example:

Most famous one I could find. And usually the numbers are closer to the chin.

Not that I have any personal experience or anything..!!

A 'fast, fun, and funny' review that does the job nicely. Who needs 'express reviews' when writers go 'lean-n-mean' as nicely as this one..?!?


And hey, that new ( to me ) user-pic . . .did you photoshop out the row of numbers under your chin . . .?? ( sleeper worries . . .not knowing if that lame attempt at humour will translate well into 'british-speak'... )


Very nicely done.
