Pros: Most of the people in this movie have been in better, funnier movies.
Cons: 90 ninutes of this 97 minute movie.

Pros: It's always neat to see a huge cast like this one.
Cons: How can so many talented people combine to make junk like this?
Summary: OK, first off allow me to explain that I am a monumental Steve Martin fan. I used to dance around my basement to his comedy albums as a kid, and I've seen all of his movies several times. Whenever you see a Steve Martin movie, it's best if its one that ... read more
