It was meant to be funny but isn't. Story is something you'd expect in a movie from 2008, all it's missing would be either Sandra bullock, Vince Vaughn or Owen Wilson. Some of the characters aren't really believable, maybe each on their own sure but not all of them altogether. Not really down to the actors playing them, more like how they're written. It isn't a movie that's made for you to believe, it's more just to wring a laugh out of you with an obnoxious plot, but unfortunately it isn't funny which makes the movie seem a bit senseless. Everything was over the top, supposed to be one of those movies you enjoy with your brain shut off, you could tell in the plot which scenes were supposed to be the funny ones with characters put in crazy situations but the dialogue doesn't deliver. The jokes don't land, and it doesn't really have any characters you could root for even though it's a movie were you have to pick sides but I couldn't care less for any of the family. It could have been written so much better, highly forgettable and I wouldn't recommend going to see it especially at the cinema, mine even had an extra sub-charge for this, yet a movie like like Armageddon Time didn't, yet was premiering the same night with a bigger cast. Don't bother, if you're still hellbent on watching though, I then suggest just wait for it to come out for streaming because it's not worth paying for and due to the lack of advertisement or buzz you don't have to worry about missing out on an under the radar gem.
