An overrated hit. Nothing memorable about it.

Rating: 3/10 (19 February 2006)

Very, very overrated. Couldn't decide if it was a 1950's style Doris Day-Rock Hudson comedy or a modern day teen-age comedy. In the end it was neither, and not at all memorable. The movie has some very good actors-especially Owen Wilson, but wastes their talents with its odd combination of sweetness and pre-pubescent humor. The plot lacked development and never allowed for the suspension of disbelief. The rich political family was so stereotypical, and trite as to be totally inane and annoying. The ending was both predictable and full of nonsense. The script dangled many points in front of the audience-such as instability and sexual infidelity of wife Jane Seymour and all rich people-then left them dangling along with the audience. Wilson and Vaughan were much better-a real script and plot (trite as they were-in Starsky and Hutch. Teaming these two should lead to a great movie experience. Unfortunatgely, this move wasted their talents and partnership.
