User Review
Is this movie bad? NO WAY
Rating: 10/10
I don't understand why people don't like this movie so much. Chevy Chase is
there, Beverly D'Angelo is there, Eric Idle is there which is great. Sure,
I'd rather see Anthony Michael Hall rather than Jason Lively, but even
that's alright, Lively does a decent job. I don't care if people hate this
movie, I'm sticking by my beliefs, and I say this movie is great.
