If this had started, "based on a true story," it would just be disturbing; but, it's a movie not to be taken seriously. If you can separate fantasy from reality, you might find this an interesting situational comedy. It makes a "self-comparison" to weekend at Burney's. If I remember right, I'd say this is written in much more interesting fashion because of the delicate balance of "real life" vs. it's just wrong elements. It all depends on what types of movies you like. I found it to be a great bit of fun.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not politically correct but kind of funny, June 13, 2009

The movie is sort of cute but it has some off color humor about death and the aunt that is a little off putting. Other than that it's a cute movie to watch if you're bored. It's set in New York City but it takes place almost entirely in the apartment building. Melissa Joan Hart and Carmen Electra are fun to watch. The outrageous characters make the movie fun and different.
