WORST MOVIE IN THE HISTORT OF MANKIND
My father and I were on a two-hour flight together, and this movie was being played on our plane. I had seen commercials for it and thought it might be funny. I. WAS. WRONG.
This movie is the worst thing to ever happen to mankind. It is the epitomy of bad movies. Now you might wonder- why do you hate this movie so much? Was it that bad? Well good news, everyone! I have a list of why this movie is so friggin' godawful!
1. The parents (Tomei and whatsisface)- Oh. My. GOD. This movie took bubblewrap parenting to a whole new, CREEPY, level. (Example? Self-automated HOUSE.)
The mother was one of those crazy annoying, workaholic/soccermom/I-do-it-all, new age moms. So basically, annoying and overused cliche.
The father...wait, what father? Because all I saw was a sad little two-dimensional daddy with no personality or backbone.
But the parents are not the entire problem. It's the kids.
If these were my children, I would lose my friggin' MIND. And you're about to find out why!
2. Harper- First off, Bailey Madison almost always annoys me, no matter what she's in, so I might be kinda biased but here we go: She was a whiney, my-life-sucks "tween" girl, stuck with the "burden" of being a "gifted" violinist. But basically, she only does it for her parents. This cliche has been done to death.
Turner- Honestly? I can't remember anything about this kid except that he was a WIMP.
Barker (the redhead)- Omigod. This child drove me insane.
WHO HIRED HIM?! He was supposed to be this adorably wacky kid, the comic relief, I understand. But NO. HE WAS NOT.
He was whiney, stupid, spoiled and just a pain-in-the-butt. And that part where he was crying over his imaginary friend dying? KILL. ME. NOW.
Oh and also- WHO NAMED THESE KIDS? Harper? Turner? BARKER?! WHAT THE-?!
3. The grandparents (Crystal and Midler). I know the whole point of this movie was the crazy, old-generation, parents, but ugh. They were rude, obnoxious, and annoying. Not even near the end did I feel any sentimental feelings toward their newfound "connection" with the children.
4. The plot: gonna sum it up real simple for you- weak. Boring. Done to death. This whole movie was just a huge joke.
This movie was so bad, that me and my dad regularly use it as an inside joke. Because that's how much we hate it. That's how bad it is.
I could go on and on and on about how terrible it is, but that's all for today, folks. Please save your brain cells, and don't watch this piece of crap.
