Mad Families

This movie is a comedy and comedies are supposed to be somehow silly, isn't it ?

This movie made me smile a lot more that other comedies with much better ratings.

If you are looking for great movie, this isn't it but you you want something easy to watch and make you smile, this might be it.

Do not understand some of the reviews, this movie really is not that bad as some other users wrote here.

Comedy is subjective, what one person finds hilarious, another won't.

The basis of comedy is a surprise. The audience sees something they weren't expecting and they laugh. Some of the factors that can enhance the effectiveness of the funny is how big of a surprise. Clearly the less expected the more surprise is generated.

It's July 4th weekend. Various families of different ethnicities arrive at camping site 16. A paper work mistake left the three families stuck with one camp ground. They try to share at first but tension rises. The ranger suggests a competition for the winner to stay and kicking out the other two families.

The premise has possibilities until the lazy competition idea is injected into the script. I don't know much about Fred Wolf but he seems to be the head SNL writer for awhile. This has that silly skit pitch concept that he and David Spade expanded into a full movie. At least, Spade is not acting in this. Instead of trying for smart inter-racial writing, they go for cheap jokes that don't really work and a clunky concept. The directing is poor and the writing is muddled. There is a repetitiveness to scenes with two characters coming to some profound understanding of race and life. In addition, I don't want to watch Charlie Sheen anymore although this has a few good comedians. The kids could have been a good way to contrast the generations but they aren't particularly effective actors. There are too many characters and this is in need of some smarter writing.

I'd hate to begin with the cliché 'this is the worst movie ever made,' but this movie (if you can call it that) is certainly in the running. Who knows? Maybe David Spade still believes he has talent and is writing another one that sinks even lower than this debacle, or any of his other box office blunders. He seems dead set on reaching the bottom of the moviedom barrel, and by God, if he can somehow summon all his writing talent, I believe he'll get there.

The film's cast is made up of C, D, and no list celebrities, and Charlie Sheen should have stuck with what he does best . . . whatever that is. Honestly, I haven't seen the ending, and there is no such thing as a 'spoiler alert' with this little gem. There is nothing to spoil. If you do happen to get to the ending before you throw yourself out a window, let me know if we ever get to see the busty blond in a bikini. A little gratuitous skin would certainly lift the artistic integrity of this masterpiece to a whole new level of 1 star entertainment.

Bed acting, bad writing, bad timing, zero efects. In other words BAD DIRECTOR.

So many talent wasted ! You have a bunch of good actors in the adult group and then you mix them with some new and amateur actors in the kids group and with bad lines. DISASTER !

Don't waste your time watching it! It's really a bad, bad, bad, bad movie!

It says here that the director was the writer of some Hollywood hits ????

The script looks very bad and very wrong, making fun off every group maybe could it work if it was well manage. There are some bad jokes and in the movie and also some used in so many movies before.

BAD.

Very very very bad. Like every woke movie. It's for the whole length of the film: be aware of your race!

And ofcourse whites and males must be downgraded.

Disgusting all the way....
