She's The One (1996)

85 mins     Comedy, Crime      

"Stealing Harvard" is not terrible, I have definitely seen worse movies but it is 85 minutes of nothing-ness, 85 minutes which you will want back once it is over. What is the problem with the movie, well lame, repeated jokes ...

92 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy
