Did you ever just want to break into song in public? I sure do. I only wish I could carry a tune.

George Downes (Rupert Everett) is at a wedding rehearsal dinner with his friend Julianne Potter (Julia Roberts) who is attending the nuptials of Michael O’Neal (Dermot Mulroney) and Kimmy Wallace (Cameron Diaz). He starts into “I Say a Little Prayer” and each of the guests joins in until the whole table is singing along. I don’t know about you but I was singing along with them.

Clones here, clones there. You can move without stumbling over one somewhere. But now that Dr. Evil (Mike Myers) is back after having himself cryogenically frozen and sent into space, his associates figure he needs a family and they have artificially created his son, Scott (Seth Green), using his frozen semen. But Scott resents his father’s absence forcing the two of them to attend a Jerry Springeresque ‘fathers and sons’ group therapy session.

Periodically, I see a scene that is so striking it stays with me forever. Such is the case in this movie when an overhead camera pans through a room and we see Cory Luchessi (Tony Nappo) polishing the large table with cloths under his hands and under his knees swimming across the screen.
