Two seconds of the 3 Stooges is funnier than this entire movie!

Rating: 1/10 (11 November 2005)

This has got to be one of the most mean spirited movies ever made. To categorize this as slapstick , is an insult to all the actors from the distant past that really perfected this genre. I put most of the blame on John Hughes Jr. a.k.a. Chris Columbus. His movies, except for Mrs. Doubtfire, are just lame. He has taken the-screaming-kid-with-the-hands-on-the-face to a science. Even in Harry Potter, he wheeled it out one more time for old times sake. Oh Christopher, you cracked me up again. The main problem with this movie is that every movie studio in town,from this movie forward, had to make ten movies like this one because of its success. There has been just a barrage of men getting kicked in the nads on screen since. Walt Disney Studios leading the way. Mean spirited comedies have been the norm going on 16 years now. It sells tickets. A lot of them.
