Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

DubyaHan The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

torstensonjohn The film is a comedy, family filled fun with Robin Williams at his comical genius. There are a lot of negative reviews for this film but let me put a positive spin on it. The plot is pretty simple; two best friends who are in business together and continuously help one another out. One gets divorced and they head to Miami for fun like the old days. Enter Kelly Preston who plays a minimal but significant part. A fling occurs AND then we fast forward 7 years later when Vicky pops back up in Williams life with two children. Here is where the comedy ensues and Travolta and Williams are at their best. There are a lot of laughs within the film and with co-stars such as Seth Green, Bernie Mac, Matt Dillon, Justin Long, Amy Sedaris the film is enlightend with fun.

brchthethird Disney has put out some good movies, and some stinkers. This movie fits firmly in the latter category. John Travolta and Robin Williams phone in their performances in this uneven mix of slapstick and schmaltz. John Travolta and Robin Williams play business partners who run a sports marketing firm, but when Robin Williams' character finds out he has children, he and Travolta have to play dad for a couple of weeks while the mother serves a little time in jail. Nothing about the plot was fresh or interesting although, to Disney's credit, they really don't deal with much outside of formula filmmaking anyway. There were a couple of visual gags that were legitimately funny...the first time around. But then they just keep using the same jokes over and over again. Kids might enjoy adults getting hit repeatedly in the groin, but not me. And then to make matters worse, there's some humor insinuating that the main characters are gay, which will go right over children's heads. Ultimately, this film is aimed at families with young children, but the humor is hackneyed at best and I don't see parents enjoying it too much. The message about the importance of family is admirable, but Disney has done much better than this in the past. Ultimately, this won't go down in the annals of Disney history as even a good film, and it certainly is one of the worst films that John Travolta and Robin Williams have ever made. Some old dogs just need to be put to sleep.

dragonbabezee This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I saw it for free on the big screen and I still felt ripped off, and I couldn't walk out because my friend had organised the screening and only five people turned up. So I can say without a doubt that this movie is rubbish right to the end. The jokes were painfully unfunny, often offensive and embarrassing. I don't know what Travolta and Williams thought of this project, whether they knew it was stinking while they filmed it and therefore put no real effort into awful material, or whether they're losing their grip on reality and thought they were doing a good job. I can't feel that children would have thought it any funnier than I did, but I wouldn't show it to them anyway.

BRITT PRENTICE This is one of the WORST films I've ever seen. They "jump the shark" IN EVERY SCENE. Just goes to show that even an all-star cast cannot save a bad script. And it truly is an all-star with Travolta, Robin Williams, Bernie Mack, Rita Wilson, Seth Green, Ann-Margaret, etc. There are so many other family films starring Travolta alone that are better. All the gags they did in the film were cliché and over done. I never thought I'd say this but Robin Williams was terrible. Travolta was blah-never thought I'd say that either. Bernie Mack was so miss-used that you didn't laugh at a single thing he did on screen. And the kids in the film were not cute or lovable enough. Don't waste your time or money on this.
