I just got in from seeing this movie and had a great time. The critics were very hard on the movie, they do not seem to understand movies that are there to just make people laugh after a long hard day at work, school, etc. Ben Stiller was at his best, so was Jennifer and Debra. The scene stealers were Hank Azaria and Phillip Seymour Hoffman who gave me a new word to add to my vocabulary (Shart). Alec Baldwin was also great in this movie, he was a very hands on person. Also two people who have not really been mentioned in reviews or anything is Michele Lee and Bob Dishy who play Stiller's parents, they were not in too many scenes but they did add to the film. What Michele's character Vivian says in the Indian restaurant is pretty funny, and its good to see her back on the big screen after a 30+ year absence.

Knots Landing
(1979–1993)
Best Show ever
12 September 2003
Knots Landing has got to be one of the best shows ever to grace our TV sets. The show that started out as a spin off of another good show Dallas turned into a guaranteed hour of enjoyable tv. Yes the show had its good and bad episodes but you always knew you could look foward to seeing your favorite neighbors on the Cul-Da-Sac Seaview Circle. By far the greatest female character on the show was Karen Fairgate Mackenzie(Michele Lee), she was married to the 2 greatest men ever Sid Fairgate(Don Murray) the owner of Knots Landing Motors and after his death she met and married Mack Mackenzie(Kevin Dobson)a lawyer. I enjoyed these two together most, they had such great chemistry together on screen they actually were believable as a married couple. When Abby(Donna Mills) arrived the show became even better, her character was always after someones husband and usually ended up with him. Sumner(Bill Devane) was another great addition to the show, his character brought a comic humor with the words he chose to use in tense drama situations. Then you had the Val(Joan Van Ark) and Gary(Ted Shackelford) the two childhood lovers who you just knew would always be together even if a few marriages got in between them. The show also had some other great characters like Laura(Constance McCashin), Richard (John Pleashette), Paige(Nicolette Sheridan), Lilimae(Julie Harris), Claudia(Kathleen Noone), Anne(Michelle Phillips), Frank(Lary Riely), Olivia(Tonya Crowe). Knots also had a ton of guest stars like Ava Gardner, Alec Baldwin, Lisa Hartman Black, Red Buttons,and Pam Grier just to name a few. Overall this show still holds up to todays standards and hopefully it will be put on DVD soon so everyone can enjoy it.
