Featured review
some funny bits, but ... it ain't no shakespeare
When jake is having trouble getting over his (married) ex-girlfriend, his friends fix him up with marisa. It's pretty much an episode of three's company. Jake isn't honest from the start. He tells one lie to cover up another lie, and of course it snowballs. Marisa also tells a lie. What a mess. Painful to watch with all the all the lying. Of course it's going to all blow up. We don't really root for anyone, since everyone is lying. John enos was actually born in boston, but some of the fake new england accents are pretty bad. About an hour in, we find out that jake is suddenly a genius business man, making big bucks. But he can't seem to show up for his shifts at his own store. And jake isn't even be a good friend to marisa. Why does she hang out with him? Later, a small child just screams and screams. So annoying. The script needed fixing up for sure. Some pretty adult language here. And lots of rude, stereotype things said by jake and his buddies at the fish shop; to be fair, it was released in 2007. A small role for richard libertini, from all of me and fletch. A walk-on by the awesome penny marshall. They should have let her direct! Written and directed by jason ipson. This one is currently showing on MAX. It's okay. Has some funny moments.
