My Review:

I must have been living in a cave or raised by wolves.  I never (EVER) heard of this movie until my friends raved about how hilariously funny it was.  You can only imagine the eager anticipation that consumed me until I could see this movie - the same excitement that children feel on Christmas Eve awaiting Santa's arrival and the presents that he brings.  After watching the movie, my worst fears had been confirmed.  I WAS raised by wolves who lived in a cave!  Sure, there are a precious few comedic moments that forced a smile from a disappointed face (like opening Grandma's Christmas present and realizing that she bought you a bottle of "British Sterling" cologne for the 12th year in a row!), but I honestly couldn't see what my friends were raving about.  Alas, I didn't dislike the movie, but I can die with a fulfilled life if I never see it again.
