Murphy at least tries to stay in character rather than overdoing the silly voices and physical knockabout, but maybe the material was so blah that he felt it wasn't worth the effort.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
This is a fairly likable family comedy.
[A] misguided, poorly executed family disaster.
Cutesy? My pain was acutesy as the entire plot yawned before me.
Fortunately, the picture's not-so-secret weapon, star Eddie Murphy, gives this uneven effort a reason for being.
