The positive tone and endless fun and joy put a smile on your face, which is much needed in these times.
The party scene in act three looks like the best party ever.
THE BAD:
I've been watching Alias recently. Seeing the young Jennifer Garner portray a young double agent so naturally on that show makes me cringe at the over-acting she occasionally falls into here.
Arturo Castro is one of the most wooden actors I've ever seen. It’s exceptionally bad whenever he’s trying to be funny.
The kids are unusually annoying and in-the-face, Julian Lerner especially.
It does feel like a third of this movie consists of montages all delivering the same message over and over. That feels like a lazy way to add to the runtime of the film.
Plot-wise this is another version of a typical family comedy, and the script doesn't serve anything new to make this film stand out. The script falls into childish territory several times, making it sometimes difficult to take seriously. Add to it the generic characters and predictable conclusion and you have a forgettable comedy.
The humour is the same old once again. Been there, laughed to that.
In the end, this film fails to reach a deeper emotional level and never explores parent-child relationships from a wider perspective.
THE UGLY:
Loads of people singing out of tune at the top of their lungs.
THE VERDICT:
A good-hearted family comedy with occasionally childish humour and an extremely worn-out script is perfectly watchable but doesn’t leave any lasting impressions.
