Now if only it was even slightly better than those examples of Hollywood at its laziest.

Aside from a hilarious set piece involving a cat/tranquilliser dart interface and a vaguely entertaining Russian Mafia subplot, this is tired stuff which should have stayed at home.

Typically for Disney, the villains aren't made of very stern stuff, nor indeed is fey spear-carrying Mimi-Siku.

A fairly awful Tim Allen comedy.

The film is well-paced and warm-hearted, with uniform chuckles.

No one is allowed to think in this movie. Not one single event in the entire plot can possibly take place unless every character in the cast has brains made of Bac-o-Bits.

You'd think someone would have figured out by now that putting a big TV star in a lame movie doesn't make the movie any better.

A rather bland, humorless comedy.

Yet another silly Disney comedy that is strictly for kids... if you don't mind your kids being exposed to the vulgar material that passes for humor in "family movies" these days.

If it didn't work the first time, what makes you think it will work the second?

With the dearth of kids' movies, it's good to see one even if it's only mildly funny.

It's a good cast. The movie uses the physical comedy talents of Short and Allen to good advantage.

Huntington is wonderful at conveying Mimi's combination of naivete and intelligence, and Allen is a marvel.
