Cat B Molly Shannon is brilliantly funny, as is Will Ferrell, the plot is ridiculous and fun, and it thoroughly made the cut into my favorite movies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/04/25 Full Review Horror fan 4 Molly Shannon is hilarious and Ferrell as her co star is phenomenal as well. Tim Treakle Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review
