Nice little movie. Something the grandparents would like.

I recently watched this one. I guess my expectations were too high, since this usually appears on lists of all-time best comedies and it grossed $140 million in the US. I chuckled a few times, but that's about it.

The best line in the movie was in the bar scene:

"This turns into a nun's bar, I'm outta here."
