2.5/5

Richard Luck

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

Trevor Johnston

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

Caroline Westbrook

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.

2.5/4

This very Disney treatment of the classic fish out of water story ought to satisfy its intended audiences: kids and the parents who must accompany them.

Kevin McManus

Roughly half of Tim Allen’s latest comedy is hilarious-stupid, and the rest is monotonous-stupid.

Leonard Klady

Simple truths are often the most effective, but in this instance they are only banal and mildly amusing.

If you care at all about surface plausibility, adults who act like adults, or emotions that exist anywhere other than in manipulative movies, spare yourself and spare your family.

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

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.
