Goes good with a margarita

OK, this is kind of fun, but...it's sort of like the kind of semi-witty banter you engage in with your buddies in a bar after you've had a few. You all think you are a riot, but the sober couple at the table next to you is somewhere between mildly entertained and mildly irritated.

Add to that the unimaginative and totally obtuse conclusions that "The Finder" draws from every obscure fact and...well, you may want to have a few before you watch. Or, you can just excuse the whole thing as being "tongue in cheek", and just enjoy it.

On the bright side, it co-stars one of my favorite actors, Michael Clarke Duncan. Geoff Stults, the Finder, is palatable as the quirky combination of Columbo, Sherlock Holmes, and of course just a touch of Bones sarcasm. There's the obligatory smattering of hot chix for men of all ages. So what do you have to lose. Give it a try--it's a good excuse for a drink--or two.

score 6/10
