    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Ryan Hansen wore fake teeth to change his appearance and padding around his abdomen to make him look like he had a belly and a body double was used in the pool scene.
    • Goofs
      Assault cases are Government vs Defendant, not Claimant vs Respondent as in fraud cases, so Dennis would merely have been a witness rather than a claimant.
    • Quotes

      Andrea: For me, this story was not about love at first sight.

    Where is the humor?
    You'd think this would have some funny stand-up routines but they are not funny. Maybe mildly amusing but certainly not funny.
