Ratings and reviews

God I love this movie. Not only is it funny, but it's also witty and dramatic. Breakthrough roles for Stacey Dash and Mark Wahlberg, respectively. You'll love it. Can't believe it came out 20 years ago.

I love this move. I recorded this movie from the TV when I was a teen in the 90's. Now I'm looking for it on YouTube TV, no luck right now & it sucks that I can't rent or buy it right now, I might have it on DVD (we have tons of movies around our room but I can't find that ONE movie).

Funny movie. Good clean humor with a touching side. One of Devitos best.
