(Plus I waited until Redbox Monday so I could get it for free) I agree with you, I am a big fan of the show and loved the first movie...the second one was disappointing. Not sure I would add it to my collection, though I did get a good laugh out of Liza Minelli scene in the weddingUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745154437500325502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206355073837906221.post-23137732418920552772011-02-19T08:17:03.857-08:002011-02-19T08:17:03.857-08:00Hi- we're on the same crusade team so I'm ...Hi- we're on the same crusade team so I'm dropping in to say hi.<br />I haven't seen either movie, though watched the show some.

My kids were still young and my wife clicked away when necessary. I did go to the first film with my wife, but neither she or I ever brought up going to see the second one. Sounds as if we made the correct decision.
