The only one there I agree with is Adam Sandler. Remotely Steve Buscemi as Kip. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Efren Ramirez (known as Pedro – people do not realize that he’s actually done quite a few movies), and he’s was perfect for the role. There is nooo way that Tom Cruise could have come close to the work done by Jon Heder (Napoleon). All Napoleon’s “moves” are really those of John Heder. As descrete as the comedy in this movie is, an A-list cast would have killed it.– Steve Castle (Saturday, Dec 31 2005)
