By Joe Leydon FULL REVIEW
50
A harmless little mess of a movie whose cast you've mostly heard of, including Tim Allen, who also directed.
By Bill Goodykoontz FULL REVIEW

With neither the dramatic nor comedic aspects of the story line being remotely convincing, the best efforts of the talented cast go for naught.
By Frank Scheck FULL REVIEW

Tim Allen returns to lowest-common-denominator comedy as the star of his own ill-advised, irritating directorial debut.

By Lisa Schwarzbaum FULL REVIEW
