Catherine the decorator: Um David, what do you think of your dad's apartment?
David Hart: Well, it's pretty goddamn ostentatious if you ask me, but of course that's just a kid's opinion. I mean, I don't even speak Italian. Are you sexually involved with my father?

Emotional Movie
I a HUGE fan of Whoopie movies. I don't agree with a lot her politics etc. but the movies she does are always entertaining. I again just recently watched this movie after about 15 yrs and in this movie I found Neil Patrick Harris amazing and it being his first movie he was great! Especially hearing him do a perfect Jamaican accent.. Loved It!
