I'm pretty sure the only reason this episode is one of the highest rated of the whole series is because of Megan Fox. Sure I got a couple laughs out of this episode, but honestly, it wasn't anything special. Just another day with Charlie and his antics with his brother Allen enjoying the ride.

The one thing this episode is is probably memorable. "Oh yeah, that's the episode Megan Fox is in" Like I said, that's the only reason this episode got so overrated. We got some funny moments here where I found myself laughing but I doubt it's the best episode. An okay episode that didn't really fulfill any expectation of mine whatsoever.moreless

Yeah, pretty enjoyable, one thing that the writers can do is change the story of the episode quickly into something funnier, and this one did that.

In my opinion, this wasn't one of my best but I can agree that it was very enjoyable and it just got more funnier aa time went by... The last few scenes were just a major crack up. Rose trying to get into bed with Charlie and Prudence's boyfriend trying to sleep with the Harpers. I also enjoyed the bit where both Jake and Alan walked straight into the door due to Prudence's good looks and being in a major hurry. Hell hilarious -- lol.

The main focus on this episode was Jake who spoiled the whole weekend secret at the very end. Judith retrieved him from Charlie's and asked him, "Did you have fun this weekend?", and Jake replied: "Uncle Charlie says I don't have to tell you". Berta the housekeeper is also one of the best stars of the show, she nver fails to make the audience crack up.

In conclusion, an impressive episode that improved drastically during the viewing.moreless
