The two guests stated that during their dinner with the former president, Clinton stated that he loves comedies and his favorite comedy is Who's Your Caddy?[6]
Box office
The movie grossed US$2.76 million in its first week at the box office, debuting in the number 10 spot and performed poorly at the box office earning only $5,713,425 in total.[1]
