    I really think it is a movie with a great message that it takes a better person to walk away from a fight than to have freinds.

    Humorous, slow at times. Fun and cute.

    I enjoyed it for its simple, old-fashioned feel. Good for the kids.

    This was one of the best movies I have ever watched! It has some funny parts to it, and it has a good message.

    A very unfunny movie that is too much drama, not nearly enough laughs. I like Tim Allen as an actor, but this isn't his kind of movie.

    Empty movie at its worst. It's not entertaining, and very braindead. Instead of wasting your time watching this movie, do something else. Read, do some exercices. Do not deaden your mind with this kind of junk.

    The picture is nearly stolen, however, by co-star Greg Germann (of TV's Ally McBeal) in the role of Joe's company's resident corporate weasel. Germann's squinty-eyed insincerity is truly a marvel to behold, and it's an astringent corrective to the film's rather too frequent feel-good passages.

    Wasn't worth Allen's time and isn't worth yours.
  3. For all the story's bland familiarity, it has winning moments. Allen's no actor, but he projects a likeable personality.
