Alleys Quote by Roger Ebert
“Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson star. I neglected to mention that, maybe because I was trying to place them in this review's version of the Witness Protection Program. If I were taken off the movie beat and assigned to cover the interior design of bowling alleys, I would have some idea of how they must have felt as they made this film.”

[...] The mortician snored even louder…” quote by Ozzy Osbourne](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/13b/ozzy-osbourne-685_adult-life_my-stay-in-camp-betty-was-the-longest-i_1967046.jpg)
