This may only be good if you're expecting it to be very terrible. I
was. The beginning wasn't promising. But as soon as Ricki Lake

Brendan Fraser is really a great actor, isn't he? He's too good
looking to be as talented as he is. Some fairly hackneyed scenes
in this film are made compelling and realistic because Fraser's so
good.

sweet, gentle comedy. If the end is too long, too complicated and
too stupid, by that time you'll like it too much to care.
