Sep 05, 2010The story is unoriginal, but it has a good cast, and it has some funny moments. Overall it's just okay.
-
Sep 13, 2009I didn't really care for this. I probably wouldn't watch again.
-
Oct 31, 2008Mostly a series of cameos. A few sporadic laughs. Worth watching for fans of Hope and Ball, others might be bored.
