...from this movie is when Robert Townsend's character asks a man if his wife sumo wrestles on the weekend, and how much her Jenny Craig diet is costing him!This movie seems too didactic for me, but if you want to watch (or have your children watch) a movie with an anti-materialistic moral to the story, this should fit the bill!What I liked the most about this movie, besides the quote about the Jenny Craig eating, sumo wrestling wife, was seeing Morgan Fairchild in the role of Satan's girl friend, Babylonia! Pardon the cliché, but she's hotter than the hell her character came from in this movie! I just wish she would have shown more skin!

When i saw it,i like it because first of all,its basically a story about a guy that is a jerk.I love it,overall,Definitely go and see this movie,it will inspire you and captivate your eyes to the screen,lets say its just like License to drive(1988)the guy-Josh Zuckerman plays Brendan H Willy so well as well as Brendan being cool.If you haven't seen this movie,go and see it right away.I admit most girls would be jealous of Twyla day in the movie,i mean all the girls who starred as her friends were.Good Quotes my favorite-Are your eyes bothering you?because they are killing me.Go and see it,you will be surprised,how fascinating everything evolves around Brendan,and then everything changes.Spectacular.

Now let it be said that this is not a high quality film. But, damn, it is hilarious. It is tongue-in-cheek, clever and even mentions Canada! How can you not love Canada?Do not be fooled by references to Canada; this is a Showtime film. Its quality is that of Showtime through and through.The idea is incredibly simple and it's nothing that hasn't been seen before. It would, technically I suppose, be considered a horrible movie. I could have done the opening credits myself with Power Point. A six year old could have written more believable dialogue.Yet...somehow, some way, it all comes together and the result is hilarious. You will laugh a lot and nine times out of ten it will be at something that is intentionally funny.The characters are great in a way that Showtime two-dimensional made-for-tv characters can be. It has Morgan Fairchild as the devil's girlfriend! It has a little Jewish kid as the dork with Harry Potter glasses and a red-haired nerd as the klutzy best friend! It has a black man in a pimp hat!It is true, there are many ways you could not love this movie, but they're all stupid.Rent it. Trust me.

The legend of Faust & his selling of his soul to the Devil has been made many,many times into one film or another. This time it is High School students turn to make that dreaded pact. All the usual elements of the legend are present. This version is an out & out comedic one. Robert Townsend & Morgan Fairchild are the emissaries from hades. Josh Zuckerman is our Faust this time out, He is a very fine young actor & is very adept in comedy. The film is very silly in spots, but young Josh, makes it watchable. The production is of the TV variety & the acting by all is good.rating **1/2 67/100 points IMDB 6
