Featured review
Typical but nonetheless enjoyable family movie
Spencer (Bob Saget) is a writer and happily married, with one son, Michael (Brian Bonsall). He spends time with Michael, going to his soccer games and taking him to movies and has a fine relationship with his son. However, his wife Heidi, although she confirms he is a good dad, would prefer Spence do a few "manly' things as well, such as going camping. A perfect opportunity arrives when the school's sixth grade boys are all taking part in a camping trip to Catalina island. Reluctantly, Spencer agrees to take Michael. From the ferry ride across, Spencer meets a variety of other parents and kids. This includes an obnoxious firefighter whose "macho" attitude criticizes Spencer's jokes and complaints. Once there, the food is less than palatable, the cots somewhat uncomfortable and the activities, such as archery, challenging for Spencer and Michael. Worst of all is a cave exploration, for Spencer has claustrophobia. Yet, it is important, for a treasure hunt there will follow. Will Michael be proud of his dad or chagrined to the max? This "fish out of water" trip between father and son is typical but still quite enjoyable. Since this viewer bought the film for a dollar, even more so. Most families will enjoy the acting, sets, and funny lines. Enough said?
