This is one of those films that people in situations that are unrealistic, and saying corny things that nobody would say, doing things that people don't do, just to amuse young children. Too much of the dialogue in this is cheesy, and it builds up making this film just annoying to watch. Kids probably won't mind because they don't expect much from a movie. I think Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt are quite good, but they have so little to work with, especially since neither of them has very funny material and all of the humor goes to the kids, and to my next high point, Ashton Kutcher. He was very funny in this movie as the lazy boyfriend who wants to be an actor. I recommend this to the kids, but adults can just sleep through it.
My rating: * 1/2 out of ****. 100 mins. PG for crude humor.
