I rented this film on the advice of a friend, who usually makes me regret listening to him. Not this time. Maybe it was the mood I was in but it just plain made me laugh. It started out crazy and ended nicely, maybe a little too cute.The lines were great. Danny Aiello delivered them with the timing of an old Catskill comic. T.R. Knight played the son. My friend didn't even tell me he was in it. I found out when I got the box. TR played the nerdy loser in away that he wasn't so much nerdy but just had a continual run of bad luck. It was great to see Barbara Feldon again. She looks great and still has the impeccable timing she had on Get Smart. She delivers material effortlessly and maybe that's why she can make the absurd work so well.It's strange Indy film, stranger than most in that it's in part very commercial, but yet at the same time off beat enough that you wouldn't think it would be. I can see this film getting more recognition as the years go bye. It's a winner and for once my friend was right.

I don't understand WHY this movie didn't play in theaters. I LOVED it. With all of the raunchy mindless comedies out there today, this one surpasses them all in terms of humor and intelligence. The writer/director, John DeBellis, used to write for SNL and was a popular NY Stand up comedian. I can see comparisons to Woody Allen, but DeBellis takes more risks and the results are outlandish and HYSTERICAL. T.R. Knight is wonderful and dead-pan. Barbara Feldon, Danny Aiello, Joe Piscopo, Mary Birdsong, Tony LoBianco and Mario Cantone are all comedic veterans and add provide non-stop laughs. There are two scenes in the movie that will have you near-suffocating from laughing. One involves T.R. and twins (I won't reveal the surprise) and the other is T.R. with The Godmother of Sex, Tristan Carrasco. Any fans of "The Godfather" movie will be on the floor wheezing. I wish DeBellis could make a whole film with T.R. Knight and Ms. Carrasco based on this scene. I wish there was commentary from the cast and crew on the DVD. I don't know how they didn't burst out laughing while they made this film. Would love to hear them all interviewed.

This movie was different from the very first scene. Without giving away the gag, the phone TR Knight uses was hysterically blasphemous (I think that's how it's spelled). The Honey moon scene has me on the floor, it was viciously romantic which made it even funnier. It took me a while to realize that the old retired actor in the home, run by Mario Cantone, was Tony Lo Bianco. It was a great makeup job.It seemed like the movie went from one funny scene to the next, each one getting crazier, none more crazy than the Jiffy Pop birth scene. It had an element of Mel Brook's Young Frankenstien and Woody Allen's inventiveness. Although the story was simple and I knew where it would probably end up I had no idea who it would get there. The casting was great. It was fun seeing Joe Piscopo play such a funny outrageous character without going over the top. There's so many funny scenes I find myself wanting to tell them but I don't want to ruin the fun for you. This is probably one of the more unusual romantic comedies I've seen. It has a sweet story that blends with almost airplane like jokes that fit. It's fun. Rent or buy it, you'll enjoy it.

I was watching this film with a group of friends and we were hysterical. I had first seen this in New York when it won the New York Independent Film and video festival. The audience there was laughing just as hard as my friends.The humor is off beat with constant surprises. And Danny Aiello is brilliant and the dying dad who was a former comic. The one liners are great and delivered like an old pro. TR Knight is brilliant as the former seminarian. Gilbert Gottfried, one of the familiar cranky voice, was used cleverly. He never said a word. The comedy mixed strangeness with warmth and it worked.My friends think this could turn out to be a cult film.I highly recommend it.
