This movie was entertaining and full of laughs for one that understood the story and jokes :p although it might be necessary for the watcher to have some background knowledge to understand many of the jokes, to a viewer that was aware, this movie was hilarious. Although the beginning of the movie was somewhat slow, it picked up a pace and never dropped from there. From jokes to a good story that one can finally enjoy with their family, this movie had it all. This story might not be original, but it did deliver the right punches at the right time to cast its own little spell on the viewers. The songs werent the best, but the actors did their job well. Not the best movie of the year, but def a movie that could be seen more than once. I rank this movie a 6.5/10.
