Posted on February 16, 2004 by

Easy come, easy go. This movie didn?t make a big impression on me. Occasionally funny, like the scene where each of the five single guy jumps in their own car and then they go to a party in a convoy … Continue reading →

I re-watched my favorite childhood movie with my sweetheart. I didn’t want to ruing her experience but it was hard for me to conceal my excitement and not to kill the punch lines. I thought I knew the movie by … Continue reading →
