★★★★★ · Odd but entertaining! · Brian Pinette · 2011-04-13

Yep - looks like the Monopoly guy made a movie. Historically, who is to say who came first. Or maybe one inspired the other. Nice little oddity.

★★★★ · The dance scene is horrible · cooperway4 · 2011-04-11

Is it just me or does Pa look like the Monopoly guy?
