One word HILARIOUS
Just saw the premier of this film, and I must say that it’s one of the funniest comedies I’ve see in quite a few years. Jerry Stiller is absolutely crazy and had me in tears. Stiller and Garofalo work great together. There are several great scenes in the film including one with three very attractive woman, one I think is Julie Strain, and another is the HUGH busted feature dancer Penelope Pumpkins.Not sure why they took so long in releasing the film, and why the limited release, but this comedy is definitely a must see movie!
