June 13, 2008Andrew Fuller is certainly easy on the eyes but this movie went beyond credible several times. I thought I was watching "Trading Places" with Edddie Murphy for the one lesson.

January 9, 2008I simply love this movie...love all the cast, especially my fave actor Drew Fuller which is not forced at all and his believability is huge (you got it, dude??).
The story is wonderful, the movie is wonderful...I love it... -

March 12, 2007Great story. I feel this is a good story for this time when we have no family values or compassion for others. Its all about money. Amazing, how Jason found the true meaning of life without the money. It was great he was able to inherit money to build something to help mankind.
See the interview of Derek Fuller on this site. -
