My family & I looked forward to seeing this movie for weeks. When we did we were disappointed but I couldn't say exactly why. We saw it again on video and figured out why it was poor: There wasn't a major plot! Instead, it had at least five subplots that added up to less than one major plot. Other than Chris Elliott's and Chevy Chase's poor acting (their characters were pretty stupid), the acting and characters were pretty good. My 9 & 13 year old girls thought it was boring. It's a shame they couldn't have spent a little more time and money writing a story, instead of spending it all on advertising.
