The Great Buck Howard lacks magic Mar 20, 2009
The people who greet Buck and Troy at each destination are overfed, twangy or both especially Debra Monk and Steve Zahn as the siblings who host them in Cincinnati. (Shes a member of the Red Hat Society, he wears a bushy mustache and a bolo tie. (MSNBC -- Movies)
