<DIV><FONT size=3><U>WHY is this movie such a flop</U>? It is no secret this one
came out last weekend and laid a huge egg, but it is difficult to see why!! It
is VERY FUNNY! It has a GREAT CAST!! STEVE MARTIN does a fine job of taking over
the role that Peter Sellers made so iconic, Inspector Jacques
Cousteu...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>So, what's the deal here?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>I can only hope our regulars were prioritizing on the
Oscar hopeful films, and gave this a pass last weekend in order to get to it
<U>this</U> weekend!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>And that MIGHT explain it as far as DECATUR goes, but what
about the rest of the country?</FONT></DIV>
