“I enjoyed this film. It was funny, cute, silly, and entertaining. Had a fine cast and really got hammered by some critics for reasons that I truly donu0026#39;t understand. No, it wasnu0026#39;t u0026quot;The Grapes of Wrathu0026quot; or u0026quot;Casablancau0026quot; or even u0026quot;Moonstrucku0026quot;, but it was an enjoyable film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJulia was excellent playing the psychotic u0026#39;man behind the manu0026#39;. The story is a little silly to be sure, but it this isnu0026#39;t high drama, folks. I happened to see a review of the film, probably the only good one it got and then ran into it one night when looking for a movie. I never heard it was supposed to stink until after I saw it, and Iu0026#39;m glad I saw it. Eventually bought the VHS tape on the bargain pile, and I watch it a couple times a year.”
