A wonderful fun comedy spoiled by coarse language

Rating: 5/10 (19 December 2004)

This film had the same light, funny, feelgood texture of Moonlighting, but the brilliantly funny script was ruined by one thing - the kind of coarse language which used to be described as "barrack room language" or "Anglo Saxon four letter words". Unfortunately the dialogue of modern films is increasingly filled with language that would have been totally unacceptable anywhere but in a men only bar or the locker room.
At the risk of sounding like someone's maiden aunt, I find this language unnecessary and offensive - especially when it is coming out of the mouths of children. It used to be said that the use of bad language was a sign of a lazy mind, yet we are seeing and hearing it daily.
With the advent of DVD's we should to be able to select a version with the coarse vulgarity eradicated.
