Movie Review by Zara
March 22nd, 2007

I'm winning!!

This is one of the best movies with an ensemble cast that I've seen in a long time. While not everyone involved is top shelf material, most of the actors are fairly well known for being character players. And as most of us know, character players are what makes the movie industry go 'round.

I've been a big fan of Rowan Atkinson since I stumbled upon episodes of Mr Bean airing on some station when I was lounging about one afternoon. They had a mini-marathon going on, showcasing about 3 hours worth of the British TV show and I laughed my ass off for that time.

So it was no surprise to me that he was my favorite part of this movie, the narcoleptic man who is cheerful and bright, trying to win the million dollars and bumbling along making mistakes in innocence.

I also liked Seth Green and that dude who played his brother (can't think of his name right now, not sure if it's that Vince dude in the cast list) and the exploits of what happens when two idiots try to make things better for themselves and only succeed in making them much worse. And it's always funny to hear someone talk when they first get their tongue pierced. Idiots.

A silly, but fun and rather entertaining flick.

I'm a huge Rowan Atkinson fan.....ou gotta check out the show "Black Adder" it was his early stuff and it's well worth hunting for.
