Nonureva Really Surprised!

Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

leplatypus If the idea of someone hiding in a family to escape problems is funny, the story written around is not amazing: the scenes come up one after another without any sense and it's pretty much the same stuff every time (Sinbad does whatever and it pays off). Sure i laugh every 5 minutes because there is always a good line or a funny situation but overall, this kind of non stop talking clown gives me headaches! The other thing that disturbs me is that the family is the new brand of upper class, with the usual depressive teen girl and the big mansion... When i was young, the families look like mine (ET, Goonies, Poltergeist, Twin Peaks). As it's already there in Home Alone, i think that the difference is about coast: in the east, family has big brick houses while in the west, it's more pavilion. At last, if i rate 4 instead of 7, it's because of the poor ending: suddenly, the movie becomes a lesson, it's about redemption and it spoils everything... By the way, Kim is nearly invisible here as a rare mother neglecting her children for work!!!NB: and his pink-green sport-wear is just ugly !!!

frogsaroyan The plot is formulaic, the characters are trite. Even worse, the characters are all negative stereotypes without any parody with which to lampoon them. As such, the movie is nearer to a Saturday morning cartoon than to National Lampoon. It is not smart. Still, much of Sinbad's comic delivery is fun, I'll admit! His "award-acceptance" monologue near the beginning I find hilarious. I can picture a golden age icon like young Mickey Rooney or Jimmy Stewart doing the same scene with a zany innocence... but Sinbad is a comic for our times and because of the edginess of his character (who was set up to look like a petty criminal) that scene couldn't have been more funny. I also enjoy the tooth-removal sequence. It's comedy worthy of Jerry Lewis or Lucille Ball, and that the entire film is really a build up to that scene makes it forgivable. I watched it because mistaken/hidden identity stories are often funny... and I watch any and every movie with Jeffrey Jones.

MirableDeDictu Its a must see!

Benjamin I have to say, when I first saw the movie, I thought it was incredibly dumb. After about the third time, I thought it was so funny. It gets more amusing the more often you watch it. It's sort of like that song that you think sucks the first few times you hear it, and then you listen to it a few more times, and it sounds a little better, and then after about a month, you really like it. Sinbad and Phil Hartman play off each other very well, and amongst the stupidity, there's a light hearted lesson in friendship and the ability of people to change. I don't know how much more I can write about the movie without going into spoilers, but just go out and rent it.
