Wow, that's all I have to say about this movie. That's not a good wow either. I had to watch this is my high school family relations class last week. At first, I thought this was going to be a nice little family film that might even be enjoyable to watch. However, whatever message there is in this movie is lost by all the stupidity going on.

The first thing that I noticed was the parents have grown apart because the husband doesn't laugh at her anymore? How about the fact that they hardly even speak and don't show any affection towards each other. Another thing is that African sounding girl the kids hang out with. How does she get the document approved and how is she conveniently at their house whenever they come home, does she hide in the bushes? Also, the youngest daughter could use some speech therapy classes and the son is pretty annoying as well. George Takei is a very strange choice for their family friend. He comes across as more of a slave than their friend. Wasn't he remodeling their whole house? In conclusion, this movie is drastically stupid. I know its basically a kids movie but its pretty sub-par even for oblivious children. Now, a movie like Home Alone is a family film but it actually has some substance. I would avoid this movie if your looking for entertainment, but you could rent it if you want to see how bad it is. My class and I had many a good laugh while watching it.
