Featured review
It does have its moments, let me tell you, it did draw one or two smiles from me, but the only saving grace of the movie is DeVito and he appears very little, and not even his appearance could actually make the movie good.
The movie tries to hard to emulate the old timey dumb movies(Which I also didn't like that much, but they were much better) like Dumb and dumber, The Naked Gun, Ace ventura, or the mockery movies like Scary Movies and such, but it fails misserably
I do know some wastoids that actually are useless and live with their parents until a very late age, but this movie's acting takes it to a dumb-but-not-funny levels.
The movie would be much better if the adults actually behaved like adults trying to get their kids to grow up, THAT would've given the movie a 5 star rating, but the fact that the mother is 10 times as childish as the kids, it is just not funny, IDK if with some other actress it would be better, but I doubt it
Overall it is full of nonsense, that is not actually funny, jokes that don't hit, namecalling that just make no sense, and garbage acting.
It feels like if american pie had a child with dumb and dumber and the child tried to emulate the parents but suck at it, overall, it is good for a first watch if you have absolutely nothing else to see, but opposite to what most other DeVito movies are, this one is not going to get a second run from most sane people.
