a great children's title

Rating: 4/10 (19 December 2004)

i heard great things about this film, and expected to see goofy will farrell and giggle constantly, but was sadly disappointed. i only laughed out loud when he gets hit by the car. there were some other stuff that made me feel silly, but all in all this was a comedy, completely overrated by adults. don't get me wrong, i think it is a great film for children, and would take my own kids to it if i had any, but i heard college and high school kids telling me how funny it is, and i went into it with high expectations. my cynical self was p***ed that people mislead me, but i was pleased with the fact that as a children's movie, this is a very good film, but audiences need to grow up.
