Oh my god. This is so bad!


I was just flipping channels and landed on this. I am watching it now and all I can say. Yikes!! This is so bad its good. The major problem I see with is the way the kids are playing the adults and the way adults are playing kids. It should have been played for real so to speak. Simply write the script as if it was being played with adults being adults and kids being kids and then simply have the kids play the adult roles. Instead alot of the dialogue has the kids acting kids acting like adults rather than kids acting like adults. And the adults are overly acting like kids. Sometimes you have a whats supposed to be a 11 year old kid in an adult body but he's acting like he's 5 or 6.

Seems like the creators wanted to make sure the audience gets the joke so they have the actors overdo their parts. This movie could have been decent if it had been handled differently.

I will say the lead kid actor is not a bad and plays his role pretty well considering what he is given to work with. He's the only one that isn't making me cringe. :-)

Hmmmmm I don't know. This is pretty bad. Was enjoying it for a while but then it just got worse.

It's not Pauly Shore's fault. Actually, he's hardly in the movie at all, which is why I'm struggling with it. I wanted to watch him, not the stupid kids. Almost done with it, though.

Honestly, I'm enjoying it so far. The kids dressed up like police, fire fighters, and office workers was pretty amusing.

I laughed out loud at the little girl babysitter with a shirt that said "Will sit for babies."

Is it wrong that I enjoyed little Ariel Winter punching other kids?

The password is password. This is really silly, but I'm kind of digging it.

If you have a childlike sense of humour and go with the premise, this is a lot of fun. The kids are cute and there are some funny moments. I enjoyed seeing the kids acting like police and the girls dressed up acting like high powered businesswomen. It's silly and wacky, but I dug it. 7/10 is my rating.
