    Not one of Michaels best movies but I liked it. Guess I like the old sentimental stuff. It has a nice theme of helping another turn their life around.

    The real reason to see this film: Cyndi Lauper. Other than that, the film still manages to exceed expectations.

    It's an alright movie but what makes this watchable is the funny and smart-ass relationship the 2 main characters have with each other. A Family movie.
