Mildly funny

Rating: 4/10 (22 February 2005)

This film shouldn't have been marketed at adults. It's a children's/family film. Nothing 'really' funny in it (no memorable/classic scenes). Cheesy plot, dialogue and okay acting. Ben Stiller plays his part well but could have been given some better lines/scenes.
If you're going to have a character like Peter La Fleur (Vince Vaughn) in it (dry, witty, clever retorts - Bill Murray style) then give him some great lines! Get writers of the calibre of The Simpson's/Friends/South Park to contribute a few gems.
Wasted opportunity.
