    Beyond being entertained, I was delighted by the movie's outpouring of slapstick invention (one crazed sequence in a pet store has all the pawmarks of a classic), and the genial energy of its star, David Arquette.

    Fart, feces and gonad gags notwithstanding, this knockabout comedy is no more vulgar than most contemporary children's films, and more good-natured than many.

    Movies like this demonstrate that when it comes to stupidity and vulgarity, only the best will do for our children.

    The movie was okay at best. Children would enjoy the amount of slapstick in this film but adults wouldn't exactly say they loved this movie.
