The entire (not so bad) plot of the film was just a way to set up a screen union between Schwarzenegger and De Vito, and so relies heavily of the two to carry the film on their shoulders. They do a good job for the most part, both share great chemistry and make a great comedic team. But because they had these two big stars, the writers just set up scene after scene of silly predicaments to showcase their differences in appearance and personality. It works in the beginning, but gets old fast. The scenes with the two sisters/girlfriends are nice enough, but once again, just get reused way too often. And the whole subplot with the fuel injector and criminals is just silly.
It's still a good movie to watch if your a big fan of either of the two main stars, but I wish this movie had been kinder to them and Reitman.
4/10
