Danny Glover stole the movie!

This movie relied a lot on 'situational' comedy which requires the actor to be well versed in facial and body movements (think Peter Sellers) not stand-up type jokes. Glover and Morgan were the only exception to this rule. They played off each other like Abbott and Costello or Burns and Allen or Hope and Crosby and it worked to a large extent. The entire movie wasn't bad it just wasn't executed to perfection. I actually liked it and found Chris Rock to be a competent lead player. On the other hand Martin Lawrence seemed to get the fact that he needed to do the physical comedy but did not execute it well. Perhaps the real deal breaker was Luke Wilson which is surprising because he usually turns in a respectable performance. His obnoxious shtick just didn't work and was more annoying than funny. Still I gave the movie a marginal thumbs up.

I disagree wholeheartedly. I feel that is anyone stole the show, it would be either James Marsden or Peter Dinklage.

It is an insult to such a fine actor as Danny Glover to have him play such a lazy, stereotypical character.






This is where the magic happens... and by "magic", I mean nothing.

I agree, Danny Glover is the funniest character as the crabby uncle. I burst out laughing when he talks!

John Witherspoon would have been funnier in Danny Glover's role. He was good though..

I agree, I haven't watched anything for him since Lethal Weapon when I was a kid and watching him again was so much fun
a very funny character :))))
