A very average movie

Rating: 5/10 (23 February 2005)

I saw this movie on Valentine's Day, even though it's not the most romantic movie in the world. The film takes a while to get going, and the story only really starts when Gaylord's parents are introduced about 20 minutes in. The character of the baby for me was annoying and unnecessary, and brought the film down to a rubbishy kid's comedy level. The overall structure of the film is very similar to the original, so if you liked that you might like this one too. Although the film had a few chuckles, the drawn out scenes seemed awkward and static. Thankfully the film does not require too much concentration, so if you're looking for an amusing comedy sequel this might be up your street. However, if you're looking for a classic Ben Stiller comedy, watch Mystery Men instead.
