An average movie

“It has been a while since I watched this flick and I thought it was time for a re-watch, this time, with Nick my step-son.

"13.2. (DVD) Inhosin tätä keskivaihetta viime katselulla kuutisen vuotta sitten puolen tähden edestä, mutta eihän Tiikerinsilmä huumorintajun kehittymisen myötä enää niin huono olekaan.
