Lots of lovely fun

For this to be the first film i register and leave a comment for then it must be good.!!!! Best comedy i think i have seen this year. Jack black cant do a great accent all the time but its all-round great and he really makes this film stand out as being hilarious. Typical boy meets girl. Boy tries to impress girl. Finds out she doesn't like this and that .so on and so forth. There is hidden depth to this film. I will buy it when it comes to DVD.

I would advise seeing the film with a Spanish speaker. they will clarify some of the unknown jokes you may hear some people laughing at without something funny happening.
