Synopsis:

Review:
A movie I had wanted to see for a very long time, thank you Netflix. So Kevin Klein, playing a secret gay. Hilarious. There are a whole lot of really good laughs in the film. There is an AMAZING scene with Klein where he is listening to a motivational tape trying to make him act more manly & results in some fantastic dance & singing.The best part about the film is, it's not an extremely awkward movie, where you feel uncomfortable because of the way he is treated or any comments made in the film. The down side is you have to look at Joan Cusack's creepy face & great white shark sized mouth talk throughout the movie. Tom Selleck is in the film, but in a completely unacceptable role. There is no way that a man that ruggedly handsome could be that gay. Maybe it's because he shaved his moustache for this film. There is quite a bit of talking & some unimportant plot but it can't all be all action all the time.

S.P.R.: C+/36
Acting: 8/10
