| | AWESOME MOVIE | PRISSY 07/06/2009 | | ONE OF VIN'S GREATEST MOVIES MY CHILDREN AND GRAND CHILDREN HAVE WATCHED IT OVER AND OVER, DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY IT'S A FAMILY MOVIE VERY ENTERTAINING AND ENJOYABLE FOR ALL AGES |
| | Great family movie | Anonymous 04/04/2009 | This is a fun family movie. Filled with all the fun aspects of having a bachelor take charge of a family of kids. The acting is perfect for a stiff Navy Lt. who in the end becomes softer and understanding of the emotional dynamics of children and teenagers. We loved it.
Those who relished foul language and shoot em ups for their kicks probably won't like it. |
| | Not enough drama or action. | Exposer 05/20/2007 | | The movie is cute but not enough drama or action. It is a little comical on some parts but most of the movie seems fake. Vin Diesel proved once agoin that he can't act. There is a good car chase seen but thats pretty much all the good action. There is a cute ending showing how good all the kids are. Cute movie. Not amazing. |
