        The intro was hilarious. Fran Drescher was and still awesome in her own way. Many people might not like her voice but I even enjoy that! I loved <i>The Nanny</i> but couldn't love this in that way. It was okay. Got some funny moments into it but not that hilarious.

        Fran Drescher was so much more charming in this then she ever was in the Nanny.

        I'm not a Fran Drescher fan, but for some reason this movie beyond my own understanding, I can't help but like to watch. Maybe, its Tim. Dalton..no...who cares!? Its hilarious!!
