The Deal (2008)

Posted in comedy with tags , , on 15 June, 2009 by Z!

Another wasted effort from Hollywood to make a comedy that is actually funny and entertaining. The only really funny moment was William H. Macy saying “Wonderful country, as long as you’re a mushroom” upon arriving in rainy London.
