Horrible


Horrible movie. Even my kids hated it (they are 12/10/7). Most of the positive reviews on here I am sure are fake, there are way too many "this was the greatest comedy of the year!" posts to be real.

I agree. As coming from someone who has seen many of the films on Mr. Murphy's rather extensive filmography, I must say this one is by far one of his worst performances. Even the heavily-criticized Adventures of Pluto Nash, wasn't this bad. I made it through that one in its entirety, on the first try. The writing was bad and the acting was hideous, to say the least. This piece of garbage will forever reside in the cosmic wasteland alongside the likes of Battlefield Earth and Leonard part 6. I seriously question why he is accepting such terrible roles as of late since I don't think he is nearly as terrible as his recent performances have indicated. 1/10...and that's being generous.

I totally agree! It's just a lighthearted, fun family comedy. I think the people saying it was 'the best comedy ever' are just exaggerating to offset all the negative reviews. It wasn't great, it wasn't bad, and in my opinion it was simple: good.

It's about as good as Honey I Shrunk The Kids, but a little worse than Home Alone. (And I really liked Baby Mama, but I guess that's off-topic).

I think family movies are in general very lighthearted and very casual. The viewer has to accept that plot-lines won't always tie up and old slapstick is new slapstick through the eyes of kids that have never seen it before. But in exchange a family movie will very, very rarely get a high rating.

I rated it a 6 or 7, and was entertained. I can't really ask for more than that from a family movie.

Right on. "Meet Dave" & "Baby Mama" were among the best family films of 2008.

And as for the first two, horribl;e? What is your choice of entertainment proper/ SAcooby-Doo (either the wretched, wretched csartoon franchise, inexplicably considered neat or the modern cartoon live aciton adaptations).

Did you just say Leonard Part 6 ??? Ohhh sh%$t I thought that was a totally forgotten movie (hee hee!). If you want to see worse check out some old Billy Blanks flicks like T2000..must have costed $500.00 to make

This movie is really really crap. Sorry, i like Eddy Murphy, but I don't understand how someone could pay money to realize this film. The causality within the story is totally confused. I gave 2 because i have pity on Eddy.
