That is so cool.  And Guy too.  Although they hardly have to act their roles as they do them pretty well naturally! ;)

I have seen it twice, but can't recall MK or any of the guys. Will schedule a viewing in the coming weekend to check it out, with my daughter.  (Although I think she is way to young and I am way too old. Hmmmm. If you spot them first, give me an exact minute to check them out, will you? Thank you!
