    A very funny and moving comedy with some great performances. Davies and Lewis are brilliant, Platt has never been better. It's actually Lee Evens who steals the show though with a real nail biting finale!

    Watched this movie a few times and it just didn't work for me, as much as I like Oliver Platt and Ian McNeice and Lee Evans.

    It was interesting. I thought it was funny, but the ending was pretty weak.

    At the top of my list of all-time favorite movies. Beautiful and profound.

    Awesome movie with a very unfortunate name. I don't know if the studio just didn't promote this movie, I don't remember it in theaters at all, but it's great. Jerry Lewis, Oliver Platt and Lee Evans are just perfect.

    Pretty pointless in my opinion, not a very good Oliver Platt movie, I prefer something like Three to Tango. :)

    Badly made and not funny. Too bad since they had a decent premise and Mr. Lewis.
