Best movie of this year hands down!

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Anyone who says this is bad doesn't know their movies,as someone with European descent I see the greatness of this movie! As with the movie toys it has a childlike feel,and Dana carvey is pretty funny! It reminds me of my childhood,as I saw this as a kid and laughed! Check this movie out!

It's when it comes to films like this that I really start to question IMDb's rating system. Because how are you really supposed to rate a film? On the plot? The acting? Cinematography? Entertainment value? Because this one has a shitty plot, okay acting, and pretty bad cinematography and special effects. But the overall suckiness makes it very entertaining. Is it thereby worthy of more stars? I think so. The weirdness and lousy effects makes this film really funny, and if watched between 23:00 and 04:00; hilarious. Many quotable scenes that won't make sense to anyone who has not yet seen this masterpiece and many other scenes that are just cringe-worthy and better off forgotten about. Despite of the terrible rating and overall mediocre performance this really is a film worth watching. It shows the diversity in films produced and even if you won't like it it will give you perspective on what is good and what's not and you will be able to appreciate real quality movies even more.

I think this is the only movie that I've ever walked out on. It was just dreadful! A sad case of where the trailers for the movie were actually better than the movie itself. It wasn't funny in the slightest. My buddy and I gave it an hour in the hope it would get better - and as the saying goes, that's an hour of my life that I won't get back. I do have great admiration for Dana Carvey as a comedian, but not in this movie!! I can't believe he didn't realize how bad it was when reading the script. Avoid this one like the plague. Wish I could say it had a redeeming feature, but it doesn't. And judging by the other IMDb reviews, I'm by no means the only person who thinks this was total rubbish!

When Dana produced this movie, he wanted one that his kids could see without there being anything bad in it. When it came out, I was 18. Even though I knew it was going to be a kids movie, I still wanted to see it because of Dana Carvey. Being a kids movie and knowing his motivation, I wasn't expecting some blockbuster comedy that apparently most of the other critics of this movie were. It's a silly stupid kids movie with ridiculous slap stick! If you go into it expecting anything more than that last sentence, you are going to be disappointed. Otherwise, prepare for some good belly laughs! I came on here today to look up this movie again because a line popped into my head. If I had access to my parents' DVD collection, I'd be sitting down to watch it with my little girl tonight!!!
