Customer Reviews

This film is “an old dog.”

Some people like to see the same formula over and over. That is how we get series and sequences. However, this story is older than the hills. Someone with no parenting skills must choose between a career and a new family. Of course, there is also the babysit for a week formula that rivals this old story. Well, now we know the story and how worn out it is. What is left? Maybe the actors? Well, it was not that bad. However, none of the actors, except Rita Wilson, who carried her part well, even came up to their potential. O.K., at least the scenes at the Zoo kick up “the film” a notch. However, sight gags do not make a story unless you are Charlie Chaplin. I only saw the Blu-ray version, so I cannot compare the versions. The voice-over commentary helps a bit when you see what was trying to be accomplished. In any event, you have probably seen this story before and in a much better presentation.
