The dad...

Is the dad supposed to be following his children throughtout the film because he seems to turn up (on his own) at the most random places? If not then I find it quite laughable that he just seems to be there. I mean what are the chances of that, really?

I also really couldn't stand the way the film was shot, everything is filmed far too close up and the shaky cam really does begin to annoy you after a while. The original is far superior to this, and was done on half the budget.
