I normally can't stand Howie Mandel but he was good here.
Normally I can't stand Howie, I find him incredibly obnoxious and irritating and not funny at all but for some reason in this movie I find him indearing. I think I liked Maurice most towards the end of the movie when he shares a tender moment with brian after his parents tell him they are seperating. It seemed like after that scene howie wasn't trying so hard to be over the top it was more natural and fun as apposed to obnoxious. I have to say this is one of his better films that he has done.
