When Parrish "locks" Missy in the bedroom, she pounds on the door and cries ... yet she could easily unlock the door and escape just by turning the lock's knob that's right next to her face! Elements like this make the film an unintentionally hilarious pleasure.

He is a great, warm, funny and real ... Read More
