The fact that scenes don't cut together very well or that the movie has no plausibility whatsoever is not likely to deter Schneider's fans. Mostly it just provides him enough ample opportunities to flounce around in girls' underwear and midriff-baring outfits that make him look more like some kind of dizzy club kid than any young woman.

That's good news to his fans who gobbled him up in his two previous big-screen showcases as a gigolo and an animal.

I couldn’t eat the food, I was just in shock.”Īpril posted a picture of her daughter’s receipt on Facebook, and the Jackson family held a press conference on Monday.Ĭhick-fil-A operates with a franchise model, and the owner/operator of the Charlotte location has since sent a statement of apology to WSOC, a local ABC affiliate.
