Daniel Stern is a courier who winds up in a bad spot, and has to make an escape,, problem is he needs to get away really quick,, and all there is around him is a bus and kids,, well he proceeds to grab a uniform,, drive the bus, and pretend to be the kids scout leader, he takes them on a trek through the wilderness. while trying to keep up with his original job of courier,, he needs to find an address and uses the kid's trip as a guise to get there,, along the way though he seems to bond with the kids,, even though he really doesn't like kids all that much , very touching and predictable,, but funny nonetheless,, overall not a bad picture,, with tons of gags and laughs.
You know, I generally hate kid's movies, but I loved this one purely for Daniel Stern. He gives an excellent physical performance taking you right back to the slapstick hits of the 1920s and 1930s. Sure, the entire film is negligible, but Stern did it for me with his commitment to the role.
This movie is absolutely amazing. Ever since I saw it in the theater in 1995, I was in love with it. I missed my opportunity to buy the video when it first came out, and made up for it when it was re-released, recently. This funny movie about a group of scouts, who kinda-get-kidnapped-but-not-really is sure to keep the whole fam laughing. Gotta love Daniel Stern, aka SPIDER! Simply, go RENT IT!
Pretty enjoyable and wacky film. Daniel Stern as always puts on a first class performance and has the natural comedic presence to add. The kids don't faulter in their roles, they can be the make or break in a family movie for the big 'uns watching. I've seen this film loads of times and I still laughed out loud a dozen times, always a fun revisit. Not the greatest but fun, safe and simple.
When I first saw this movie I kept thinking of it as seeing Marv moving forward and becoming a good guy. I think if you like Stern and you like Home alone movies you will like this and will most likely think of it as Marv from Home Alone as a good guy.
