"There's always free cheese in a mousetrap." Damn, I love that line! Lots of other quotable lines are mixed in this movie. I'm glad they chose Phillipe for the part. At least he's better than Freddie Prinze, Jr. He has more of an edge anyway. Anyways, I love seeing people bleed to death and I enjoy watching C-sections performed with bullets wizzing by the doctor's head, so I really liked this one. I think I'd take this delivery over the more conventional one I saw in DR. T & THE WOMEN. I think my heading says it best here. I'd recommend it, but I think a few weeks from now, I'll hardly remember it.

This review is about as tired as the movie itself. I don't even know why I'm writing this review, I'm telling you the same thing you've heard from everyone else. When the dancing's not going on, the movie sucks. At one point, a dancer says to another something to effect of, "hey, we can't work all the time. Let's go have some fun!" At this point, I sighed and said to myself, "why don't you keep working to keep things fun for the rest of us here in the audience?" The cliched characters and the sheer predictability are also demerits, but you already knew that. The dancing is really good, though that final number is unbelievable as hell. That's it, I think.

Cute enough and harmless enough to qualify as passable family entertainment, this movie aims for the kiddie humor, and succeeds. Shelley Long is a delight, and Craig T. Nelson portrays, well, Craig T. Nelson. This isn't great by any means, but high-spirited and upbeat.
