Am I the only one who totally loves this movie?
It's by Lona Williams, who was on The Simpsons writing crew for a while and, interestingly, the film comes off like a live action version of that show. It didn't do too well in cinemas, so not too many seem to have heard of it. Which is a shame because it has to be one of the funniest films of the '90s. I see a lot of Arrested Development-style comedy in it too.
-Easily one of Kirsten Dunst's best performances. "I owe my life to that deaf baby!"
-Well, you know what, dad? Peter's gay! GAY!
-Amy Adams' debut
-Denise Richards does the best dance performance ever.
-"Adam West was not available for comment."

Kirsten Dunst at her most attractive for young me. Kirsty Alley was also great in it. Amy Adams so great as the hot girl.
Lona Williams also wrote Sugar & Spice which shares a similar comedic style. But she left because of disagreement over the tone.

Yeah, Sugar and Spice is pretty bad. No wonder she disowned it.

Love this film, one of the most under-seen comedies ever. I love Harold and Hank (and Hank exposing himself) but my favourite character is Loretta (Allison Janney), she steals all the best lines.. "She had a fat ass then, she's got a fat ass now", "I got some!" and "It's front page news when one of them takes a shit".

"She had a fat ass then, she's got a fat ass now", "I got some!" and "It's front page news when one of them takes a shit". I came here to quote the fat ass line. I remember getting hype for this movie after I watch an E special about it. I thought it would be delightfully dark and delicious and I wasn't disappointed. |

does it have Denise Richards in it or am i thinking of something else? Yes and looking amazing I might add.  But yeah, I hadn't seen this movie in about 8 or 9 years before I picked it up at Cash Convertors for a couple of bucks. I'd forgotten how funny it was. |

Fact: This is the only movie Denise Richards has actually been good in. In most of her films she come off as robotic, vapid and kinda awkward, but that 100% works here due to the nature of her character.

A really funny film, although it tails off at the end. The big conclusion should be Kirstie Alley's meltdown, instead it keeps going a bit aimlessly.
Lots of great performances; Kirstie Alley, Kirstin Dunst, Ellen Barkin, Denise Richards (yes, really), Allison Janney, Amy Adams and Will Sasso.
My favourite part of the film has to be this clip though.
