This is a pretty boring movie about a guy named Dylan Ramsey (David Spadea) who tries to woe his French neighbor Lila Dubois (Sophie Marceau) by snatching her dog and then concoct a plan to find and return the dog to her so Dylan could become a hero. Add in a cheating ex-fiancé who wants the girl back and you got some pretty corny, slapstick comedy.
While the movie does have a solid plot to follow, the pace of the direction is slow and I didn't find David Spade very funny in the lead role - his performance was mediocre at best. This film doesn't capture the quality of comedy in many of those made in the 80s to early 90s in the same genre. I also understand that this movie is almost if not identical to "Something About Mary," which gives this film a lack of originality.
Overall, I'll pass on this one - there are better movies out there that provide funny entertainment.
Grade D
