MY REVIEW

Comedy movies is not my favourite genre  but once in a while I love a good funny movie.. I am a fan of Steve Martin  so I was very excited to  get to review this movie even though I had never even heard of this one before just a week ago.  This movie was disappointing. It wasn't really that funny and I thought it was boring. If it wasn't for the fact that this was to review I would have probably turn it off.

I give this 2 out of 5
