Storyline

Primarily a concert film of stand-up comedian Craig Shoemaker, a.k.a. The Lovemaster, the film is interspersed with vignettes of the situations described in the monologue, and framed by Shoemaker's therapy sessions. Shoemaker's forte is impersonation of characters, both real and imaginary, from his life and television.—Norman Cook

Short Review

The "Friends for Dinner" song was honestly pretty cute. I think the first track that has grated on me in the series up to this point since Land Before Time 2's egg-snatchin' song... Actually not just "since" that song, it literally is just those two songs I haven't groaned at. Don't get me wrong, I completely understand these are movies for kids. I watched them when I was a kid, but kids' movies can still be good to adults, and often are. This one is... more "okay" to adults.
