The film, directed by Jon Turteltaub, has an easy but mediocre charm.
Bruce Diones, New Yorker
Rotten
The actors perform with multiple safety nets and the closest the film ever comes to taking a risk is having Freeman dance to a cover of Earth Wind & Fire's "September."
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

"This is the like "The Hangover Part 43."

Rotten
