    Unnecessary.

    Why do they even make such movies? Who gives them money to waste?

    Enjoyable Watch but little no action, more comedy.

    This film is about two teenagers who have to try and defeat two amateur burglars. There is little action but its still an enjoyable watch.

    The film is funny in places and keeps up the comedy. Although it does turn a little dark and awkward towards the end. Its well acted. There are nods to Home Alone. Its well acted and it kept my interest throughout.

    I enjoyed it. I laughed in places. Its not going to change your life or win lots of awards but its still an amusing watch.

    Annoying Chick, Boring Guy in a non-Comedy

    Chick was pretty but they must have directed this girl to act the way she does at the start at the dinner table? Surely she can't call that acting? It was some of the most annoying behavior in a child ever. The movie was boring. Did someone watch home alone when they were a kid? Why shoot your own truck tires? The only interesting thing was when the bad guy got shot. Seriously it's the only interesting thing that happened.

    Predictable, unrealistic, brainless acting.

    Like many of these movies the actors have wildly unrealistic reactions to the situation theyre in, acting completely brainless to everything that happens. If your tired of watching people do the dumbest thing possible in every situation just avoid this one..
