Sandcooler Don't make the mistake of watching this movie for Tom Green, because he doesn't really get to have any fun whatsoever. I get that he can't do random disgusting things in a wholesome family film, but even his absurd sense of humor is pushed way into the background to make room for sappy romance scenes. This movie feels like a worn-out afterschool special more than anything else, it's chock full of moral lessons and jokes so disturbingly old that it would make "Full House"-writers blush. Green is clearly out of his element and looks incredibly bored throughout, but somehow he's still the best part because his co-stars are even worse. The kids, oh dear God the kids. The pain will never go away. Tom Green's overall weirdness and undeniable comic talent can definitely be translated into family entertainment, but this just doesn't seem like the way to do it. Gotta love the scene where he kisses Brooke Shields though, you'll have a major "Road Trip" flash-back.

boatista24 This is Tom Green at his best! The only thing wrong with this film is there wasn't enough of it! I loved this movie, and frankly, I am amazed at Tom Green's ability to render such pathos. I loved his manic humor in earlier films, but this was simply superb work on his part as an actor. Brooke Shields has never been so charming, and I just loved her in this movie. She was perfectly cast for this film. Unfortunately, Tom Green spends far too much time behind the camera instead of in front of it these days, and we are losing a national treasure because of that. He now has a special place on my list of favorite actors - that I will go to the movies to see anything he is in. Tom, please star in some more movies! I will throw down ten bucks to see any movie you are in, just because you are in it!

basicman I saw this film at Cannes... a week of serious meetings and rubbish dinners and I laughed and laughed at this light hearted break from the reality(?) of the festival.The little bit of anti-French humour was hilarious.. Especially as I watched this film in Cannes.While the movie is reminiscent of Doubtfire, it is much less sappy and way more slapstick. Tom Green is decidedly more normal – while being as strange and funny as ever – than we have seen in his teen flicks.Shields is, as always, stunning and beautiful and, also as usual, combines her graceful beauty with physical comedy and well delivered (punch) lines.The children in this movie were very well cast, they make the movie in a number of ways that can't be discussed without a spoiler warning! Go out, rent this movie, order a pizza and enjoy.

istatetheobvious This is by far the worst movie I have seen from Disney Channel. The story was weak and so was the chemistry between all the actors. Most appalling was the sexual innuendos. This is the Disney Channel! Please! My kids didn't even like it. Completely inappropriate and not even fun to watch. Another comment was posted comparing it to "Hook", "A Series of Unfortunate Events", etc. I have yet to figure out the comparison. We enjoyed the other movies. This one left a negative impact on us toward Disney. If it was on any other channel I would understand. Although, it still wouldn't have been good. It was choppy and the reaction from some of the characters at times made absolutely no sense.
