Here are some local SiCKO reviews from last Friday's showing:
• Tommy's blog (Cathy and Doug's son)
• Sarah's blog (Cathy and Doug's daughter)
Let me know if I missed anyone.
Here's my review: The next time some wingnut tells me to move to France, I just might.
P.S. The KNS reviewer says it tells us what we already knew and offers no solutions. She likes Bruce Willis, though.
