I need a vacation of watching this!!
27 August 2015 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

Went to go see this movie with my wife as we saw the trailer and it looked like it would be an enjoyable comedy with a bit of adventure. I am also a big fan of Ed Helms (The Hangover).

The fact is, apart from the very rare actual funny moments, this movie falls way short of expectations! Very cheesy jokes, cringe worthy scenes and my goodness the child actors are just so bad and full of F bombs and other bits of profanity that are just not necessary.

All in all a huge disappointment and a real shame that I can't get back those 100 minutes.

Should you watch it? I would rather sit through the Twilight Saga again!
