PERFECTLY PLEASANT BUT NOTHING MORE

Rating: Null/10 (17 November 2004)

I am amazed that the current IMDb rating for this flick is 7.2. SEVEN POINT TWO?! That would indicate a comedy blockbuster and/or modern holiday classic, which this is NOT.
Please understand that I have immense respect and admiration for all the actors involved, and I wanted to love this film, but it didn't happen for me. There is simply not enough meat on the bone, so to speak. Many cute ideas, even a few chuckles, but it is simply not a killer must-see movie. My rating would be 5.5, tops.
(Apparently this was originally intended to be a Jim Carey vehicle. I wonder if that would have made any difference...)
