Good submitted by Motomori on July 17, 2012, 2:03pm Good movie. Not extraordinary but it was okay.

"The new phone book's in!" submitted by tbbrown76 on August 3, 2014, 8:59pm "The new phone book's in!" Now he's a real person. Very funny when it came out, but I'm not sure it holds up today ("I was born a poor, black child.") Might want to preview it before letting the kiddies watch. Special purpose.
