This came on TV yesterday, and I saw that it had some actors that I like, so I watched it. While most of it was funny, there were some parts I just found annoying, like Rachael Leigh Cook's warrior-woman fantasies. Actually, her whole character was pointless to me. She was barely connected to the other characters and didn't really affect the main plot. I was also sometimes annoyed by the Woody Harrelson-John Cleese scenes. If you have any qualms about watching animals get hurt for laughs, there are a couple scenes you won't appreciate. But I enjoyed the rest of the movie for what it was - fluffy entertainment. Doesn't require strict attention and most of the characters are extremely likable, especially Alicia Silverstone and Ivan Sergei.
