I went to the movie expecting to only laugh a few times if that many. I was suprised at how often I did laugh. It was much better than I had predicted. My teenage daughter asked me to go with her and I wasn't really expecting much. I did laugh and although it had some predictable stuff, I did enjoy it. There was a nice romance thrown in as well. Steve Martin was very pompus and funny to watch. I will recommend it to others. I'd say 3 1/2 stars for sure. It was worth the laughs!
