Why does every one think this movie sucks??

People think it sucked because they sought to gain satisfaction from a movie that was not intended for their age bracket. This movie is for kids. Thats why the dialouge was simple and occasionally lame, because thats what child humour is. If you watch it knowing your watching a family movie then you can appreciate the strengths of it. The point of movies is to share knowledge. This movie was trying to show kids what life is like for some kids and give those that get a hard time some hope that they are not alone. Its got nothing to teach adults and thats why some adults dont appreciate it.

I just watched this today and thought it was good. It was funny which was what I was expecting from it. I didn't expect a good story or character development but those parts were alright.

In all honesty I don't like this film very much. All I was trying to do was let the original poster know that he happens to like a film that most people think is a poor film. There is nothing wrong with liking a bad movie. You can even know that it's a bad film (whatever film that may be) and still like it. There are quite a few that I like as well but I know they are bad films.

Do you think he wants some cheese?

Personally, when I first saw the adds for this, I had absolutely no interest in it, even though I've been a fan of the Happy Madison clan for ages. But when I finally got it out to watch it, I loved it. I think you have to take certain things with you when you watch it -
a) it's Happy Madison, which is wonderful, but not really Oscar material (well thats the general consensus anyway)
b) it's targetted at kids/young adults, so it's gonna be that sort of humour

Sometimes there's nothing better than a fun, immature-in-parts movie, and this is just so much fun. As Spade himself said, so many reviewers slammed it for being immature and kiddy, but hey, that's kinda what they were aiming for.

Eh, I don't know how much sense that made. Bottom line, I love this movie, and I laughed my ass off watching it. Loved Spade and Schneider working together again also, and loved Heder's, Swardson's and Lovitz's roles.
