Goofs:

When "Woods" Valley is being given the promotion by his boss, the boss informs him that he is getting a raise of $0.55 per hour, which he says is a 15-percent increase. That would mean, however, that he is getting a raise from $3.67 per hour to $4.22 per hour, both of which are below the federal minimum wage (and have been ever since 1991, when the minimum wage was raised from $3.80 per hour to $4.25).

Not so bad

I picked this movie off the shelf at random and figured, the cast wasn't so bad (judging from the cover) and i had time to spare so why not. When i saw some of the cast not listed on the box i was even more impressed. Anyway, as the movie went on i enjoyed it more and more. I don't think I would ever buy it, maybe not even bother to watch it again, but i am glad i watched it. It was amusing and kept me entertained (something a movie should do). Sure the plot had been done before, and it wasn't super original. But as far as i was concerned it was a solid movie. No slow points, no terrible writing, no stupid special effects. It just wrapped itself up into a convenient little ball and... i got nothing.

Point is, if you are ever looking for a good movie that isn't heavy on the morals and you don't have to concentrate to hard to watch, this is the movie. A good laugh and not a waste of time.
