peeked half way in

Rating: 7/10 (12 February 2005)

this movie started out really really good. i was laughing and enjoying myself and thinking that it was money well spent. then about the half way point, it went from being funny and kinda original to a typical Hollywood film. i found that i was not laughing as much, nor was i enjoying it in the same way. it almost seems as if two different people were asked to write the first and second half. the fist half. i also think that it abruptly changed the main focus and i wish that more of the story could have been for kevin james' character after the second half. just when we are starting to see how he is changing, he disappears for long amounts of time. is well worth a matinée price, but the second half is not worth the full price. hope you all enjoy.
