Mad Families

Whooah, that did hurt. Watching this is really painful because of the terrible (new low?) in lame "jokes" that are SO NOT funny that it really becomes embarrassing to watch.

I really like Charlie Sheen as an actor, it was him that made me decide to watch this "comedy". As a surprise I saw Dennis Quaid as well, both were (and still are) great actors, but this movie didnt gave them a chance to excell.

That's putting it in a polite manner that this is one big flop from start till finish and the only reason both Charlie Sheen and Dennis Quaid are starring in it is because of money troubles.

Well, I am gonna watch an old eighties classic with both these stars in it, to forget the bitter taste this flop left in my mouth....

I thought It was going to be a lower quality version of grown ups and it wasn't at all. There was an unfunny race joke every 5 minutes and Naya Rivera was the only saving grace. I couldn't get past the 24 minute mark before I shut it off. The entirety of the movie I was so uninterested and unentertained I was actually planning my dinner.

Sometimes I think that not everyone should leave reviews on IMDb. I think you need first to pass some IQ test or something. The score for this movie is way to low, this here is a 6.50 movie ... Some of you probably found those jokes way to racist or something, I really dont know what is in your head. Movie is good, stfu and watch or go back to My Little Pony.

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.

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.
