Date Watched: Saturday, February 9th, 2002
My Opinion: Okay, despite a couple of funny moments (45 1/2 bars and a little 'I don't want to marry him' joke) this movie blew... big time. Don't waste your time, your money, your energy. Nicky's downfall continues (that was NOT an Italian accent, son!) and Penelope's tradition of suckiness continues as well. If you want a reason to stab your eyes out, by all means, rent it, but don't say I didn't warn you...
Final Rating: .5 Stars
