Alan's Review

Well what can I say good cast, good acting, good director, bad story.  In my opinion this story is as bad as who wrote it. If it was not for  the CIA part which everyone admits that they don't know if is true.  This movie would be a story about a pervert who got lucky with some tasteless shows.  This movie is not for children or teenager as 50 percent of the movie is about the main character  Chuck trying to have sex with everyone.  My guess is that they focused so much on the CIA operations because the rest of his life had nothing worth to offer a movie.  So if you want to waste good money on this go ahead and see it but I would wait till it airs on HBO.  I give it a 2 out of 5.

Bubba's Review

What the heck was this.  I took Mary Jean to see this and she nearly fainted with all of the bad language and dirty scenes in it.  Woot,  but it did have that purty Drew Barrymore and Julia Roberts in it. I made the mistake of talking about Drew in front of Mary Jean and now I am in trouble.  Last night I holler what fur supper hun and she yelled back why don't you call yur girlfriend Drew up and ask.  I really didn't understand the film much more than he was killin alot folks and sleepin with lots of women.  I am going to give this film a 2 pigskins out of five folks only cause Drew was in it, but don't tell Mary Jean.
