HOLY CRAP! What an unbelieveable waste of time. From the time that I saw the first trailer for this, I knew it would be bad. But here's the thing... usually when I think something is bad, someone else ...SOMEWHERE thinks that it's good, and I understand that.

I have not taken the time to sit through this movie from start to finish, because I knew that not only would I not be entertained, but I also knew that watching this movie would make me kill myself, and I'm not ready to die yet.

However, I've seen enough of it from doing theater checks to see that just about NO ONE likes this movie. I've stood in the back and watched scenes that are trying to be funny... trying REALLY HARD to be funny, with joke after joke after joke, and NO ONE in the theater is laughing. Not even the kids.

Now maybe our customers are a bunch of sour pusses, but I don't think so. When I get over to Hitch, generally everyone in the auditorium is laughing their ass off. But with this movie... no reaction at all.

I'll give this movie -3 stars (yes, that's negative three) out of 5. Now, please excuse me while I go wash my eyes out with chlorine.

I have not seen this movie, but only wanted to comment that Rotten Tomatoes website had the Tomato Meter on this one at a jaw droppingly low 04%. That's pretty damned bad. I'm not sure if there's anything in their database any lower than that.

Some movies you just know are going to suck when you first read the title in the upcoming-releases lists. This is one of those movies.

Most of the aspects which make up this "movie" give it a rating of 3 out of 10. Luckily I didn't have to pay money for this one.

-And "they" can't figure out why the actor prom the previous version most likely turned it down??
