This star-packed movie is non-stop action. You will not find one cliché or unoriginal thought in this movie. There is no way to anticipate the plot.
It is like reading a Dave Berry novel; that could be because the story was based on one. As with all his works, it starts off reasonable, then builds up to incredulous, and then over the top. You are carried along without even realizing it.
The story starts with many overlapping threads. We have a young hitman from school out to get a schoolgirl all wet. There is an unscrupulous character (Stanley Tucci) with a graphic (close your eyes) toe (belonging to Sofía Vergara) fetish. The mother (Rene Russo) goes down with the would-be hitman. The television is short. Nina meets her maker, Puggy. The dog finds aromas. Need I say more?
O.K., there is a frog, goats, and a portable garbage disposal.
On a deeper level, it is about families and trust. But do not mind that now, just sit back and have some fun.
