My Review: As a movie go'er I try to keep an open mind when seeing movies and therefore see some good and some not so good. I had no idea what this movie was about when seeing it however figured the main characters have all been in some funny films previously so this could be a could culmination of their acting skills and comic ability.

I feel no amount of sugar coating this one will do the movie justice other then to say, I will never get back the 86 minutes of my life spent watching this movie. Never. Ever. Ever. Ever.

This movie should of gone straight to DVD rather then cinema release and even then, how they got funding to make it concerns me.
