“Picture this…. a room that is full of people and only one of them has any redeeming values whatsoever but that person is patently unlikable. If this sounds like it might be a fun story, youu0026#39;re right. I enjoyed this movie on the simplest and most shallow level. Itu0026#39;s no great spellbinder, there is no big surprise, but it moves along nicely and had be laughing out loud on a consistent basis. The performances were good with each character convincingly revolting. This movie is on my u0026quot;Own Itu0026quot; list. Not because it is a masterpiece but because it managed to entertain me its entire length. I recommend this guilty pleasure to anyone who isnu0026#39;t too wrapped up in pretending they are a movie critic for PBS.”
