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

|
Typically for Disney, the villains aren't made of very stern stuff, nor indeed is fey spear-carrying Mimi-Siku. Full Review |
|||
|
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. Full Review |
|||
|
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. Full Review |
|||
|
Gently humorous and moving. Full Review |

|
Roughly half of Tim Allen’s latest comedy is hilarious-stupid, and the rest is monotonous-stupid. Full Review |
|||
|
Simple truths are often the most effective, but in this instance they are only banal and mildly amusing. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

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

|
Mildly entertaining comedy about a father-son reunion. Full Review |

|
Mildly caustic, sentimental and slow. Full Review |
