COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Cool and fun submitted by cathiek on July 12, 2011, 10:06am Really fun to watch. Good movie -night-at-home movie for the whole family.
A fun film that’s not too deep submitted by bahr on July 13, 2023, 7:26am This movie was really fun to watch. It does have some deeper theme to it but not many. Don’t let that keep you away, especially if you want a good taste of what movies from this era were like!
