Ratings and reviews

Ok saw this movie on cable. It is hilarious. I laughed the entire movie. Martin Short is funny as hell. Add Danny Glover and it's a recipe for complete humor disaster.

After watching this ten or more times, still one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

Still one of my all time faves. If you need if you need to laugh you got to watch this...5 thumbs up
