What a waste -

Rating: 2/10 (24 December 2004)

Speaking of waste - well its not really a spoiler to offer up the fact that many jokes are made of waste and other bodily fluids - not to mention the animal and baby themes
In other words - much of the humor is of the 7th grade variety - a real disappointment given the outstanding cast. And a significant amount of screen time being devoted to animal and baby "humor" makes this project look almost desperate. Almost a kitchen sink approach - throw in enough potentially funny bits and human and/or animal dynamics, and surely something will make em laugh. I did laugh 3 times during the film, but groaned and grimaced much more.
Yes it looked like they were having fun doing such silly schlock, but for this to be Ms. Streisand's return to the screen - albeit alongside Dustin and DeNiro - it's a colossal letdown verging on sacrilege.
