Featured reviews
In short, this film is loaded with poor acting, dreadful, unfunny writing, and absolutely horrific directorial styles. To be fair, there were a few mildly funny scenes; however, unfortunately the trailer spoiled them all.
If anyone reviews it as an adult movie, that is their mistake.
There was no solid plot. It was mainly a bunch of funny scenes sewn together to make a plot. I saw two established actors I enjoy very much, Dennis Haysbert and Judy Greer. I was also introduced to another established actor I had not seen before, Keegan Michael Key. He was very funny. I would say he stole the movie. I was also introduced to a new actor, for whom I predict a bright career, if she stays with these "good" movies, Brianna Hildebrand.

I'm giving this movie 5 stars because for a kid it would get 10 stars but as an adult I would give it about a 3 it does not have much of a plot and while there are funny moments over all it's not that funny so because of that I would not recommend this movie unless your a kid or taking your kids to see it since most of the comedy is only funny to younger people and kids also don't often care about a lack of plot
Side note: If your expecting to see them fight fires you are working outside of two short scenes within the first 10mins

Bad acting, bad scrip, bad directing, it is so bad that John Leguizamo was not funny and he is a comedian. I would had given it 1 start but at least Keegan made me laugh.
I was forced to see this movie and to put it simply, its a movie to shut the kids up. I laughed at none of the jokes, and found the Brony jokes really unnecessary. I do not think paying a copyright bill was worth it fore those jokes. But i can't blame the movie because its a kids movie. I guess i'm sour because i waisted about two hours (Or what it felt like) of my life watching a bland kids movie. I'm not saying its bad, but boring. So if you're watching it and your a adult take your two year old or someone young so you see someone having a good time.
