I thought the movie was brilliant! Is it a horror film or a comedy or both? You decide! Patrick meets his soon to be brother-in-law Ryan for the first time, and he does NOT like him. It is English humor and slap-stick comedy at it's very best from the cricket bat to the karate fight to the ax scene.I just die laughing every time I watch the part where Patrick(David Hewlett's character) is yelling, "Dance, Monkey, Dance!" and then runs around screaming like a girlie girl. It is scary how well he does that! Anytime you get to see David Hewlett wearing nothing other than a little rubber ducky...you gotta smile! It's done tastefully for the laugh and yet is still a great family film. There are a few scary scenes and they rated it PG-13...so not for the little kiddies...but wonderful for the older ones.Will Marilyn get to marry her man, or does Patrick get away with murder? You'll have to watch and see! *evil grin* Kimberly aka Kdvb1

I was fortunate enough to see a screening of this movie and everyone in the theater was laughing pretty much through the whole movie. When I got the DVD of the movie it was great to go back and see what I had missed. Even after watching it a few times I will keep finding little things that I missed because I was laughing so hard before. David and Kate were awesome together and definitely played up the sibling thing. Mars the dog was great and had his part down pat. Anyone who watches Stargate SG-1 or Stargate Atlantis will probably enjoy seeing them spread their wings in a different setting. Paul McGillion in particular was hilarious but there isn't too much I can say about his performance that won't give things away. This is a great movie that I hope everyone enjoys as much as I did!

Since I had been hearing about how funny this film was for months, I figured there would be no way to not be disappointed with it. So as I sat down to watch it I tried to lower my expectations but soon found myself repeatedly laughing out loud. There were so many great sight gags, one liners & withering looks. And having several siblings myself, the love/hate relationship between Patrick & Marilyn seemed quite real. As did the dialog in general. I love films that don't "feel" like a film. These people could be your neighbors, or worse, your own family. The latter half does slow down a bit, but it still had some great scenes (the internet date scene, Marilyn's discovery, Patrick's mounting angst over his dilemma). And while the resolution was no surprise (I wish it had been), I enjoyed the fun the film had in getting there. I really enjoyed the performances as well, especially by Kate Hewlett & Paul McGillion, who, outside of Stargate Atlantis, I had not seen before. And David Hewlett is just one of those people I would be happy to watch read the phone book. He would find someway to make it interesting. So, though there are a few bumps along the way (I personally could do without many of the sound effects), I think it is well worth the ride & for a first time filmmaker I have to give it an A. I hope he does more.

I was unsure about watching a movie because i was a fan of the show the actor came from. After renting from Netflix, it was quickly turned into a must OWN! David Hewlett and his sister Kate Hewlett should do many more films together! It was beyond funny! Having the Stargate/Atlantis in the cast was a plus for me, but i can't tell you how many people i've asked to watch who were not fan's of Atlantis and they've also loved this film. If you are at all breathing, you can't go wrong in owning/renting this movie! I only wish that it was up on the big screen (or at least larger than my own television screen) at some point to get the full theatre effect. :o)
