  • December 3, 2007
    An entertaining old flick. Some good lines for a laugh. And I was hearing lines I could have swore I have heard in other more recent movies.
  • September 4, 2009
    Strictly for the Saturday matinee. Artificial and lumbering.
  • July 30, 2007
    A MUST SEE family movie.
