Very Cool!!!

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

It's a movie for kids, people! Get in the spirit and watch it like a kid would, and have a little fun. Okay, the plot's kind of confusing aside from the opposite day premise, and the acting is, well, often juvenile, and it's all a lot of silliness, but that's the point. It's like kids wrote and directed it, which is what makes it good in the eyes of a child.Of course, the message is that being a parent is harder than it seems -- duh, any adult can see that one coming. But most kids won't.My 7-year-old girl enjoyed it, and it was fun to watch it with her as her parent -- and that's all that matters.

First off, I'll mention what I said in the message boards. My curiosity when I first heard about this movie was compounded by the lack of availability...and if you have a pass or subscription, such as Blockbuster or Netflix, I would recommend using that for a viewing rather than spending money to purchase it prior to seeing it firsthand.Now, as to the movie itself: Yes, there are issues with the plot, continuity, and so on, and yes, I also noticed that there may be some creepy incestuous undertones and was laughing when I saw that the other reviewers noticed as well. But, I do think the filmmakers here intended for it to be seen through a child's eyes and hopefully most kids aren't thinking like that if they are in the target audience (probably under 9).So for me, this was mildly entertaining and it was nice to see Pauly Shore and French Stewart mix things up a bit by acting both mature and immature in the same movie. However, my kids are all under 6 and they seemed to like it quite a bit. So maybe the concept of the movie plays on two levels - the movie itself, and the reception by the viewers. I haven't seen any reviews by the 5-and-under crowd yet, but from the response at home I'd say it was a hit.I know it may be an odd paradigm of parental philosophy to let your children decide what they do and do not like, but if we don't pay attention to what they think about things, we may be in need of the corny lesson this movie tries to "teach" us anyway.

The movie is cute, that's it, cute... but I don't know if my mind is too corrupted by this world or what, but I couldn't pass the thought of incest! When the kids switched with the adults, the parents become the kids and the brother and sister become the mother and father? It was a little disturbing to see how the "now kids" call the brother and sister mom and dad as they take on their new roles as parents. Very very weirs. That made me think, how about if the family only had two brothers? will the adults as kids call them dad and dad? and even more disturbing, how about if the family had a boy and 4 daughters? will they become a polygamist family? I think the director could have avoided this by just having the kids becoming adults, but not necessarily the parents of their parents.Sorry!

This is a family movie of the better kind.It have good entertainment for kids and adults alike. The story of the movie is good and interesting, especially for the kids. The movie contains it all; action, humor, drama, family values.For a family/children's movie, there is a good solid story to the movie, and I am sure it will keep children entertained from the very start till the very end.I especially loved the way the contents of his malt (or milkshake, or whatever it was) kept changing as the camera angles changed. Sometimes the glass was full, other times some was gone. That was cool. Got to love continuity errors like that.But back to the movie, it provides a good, whole entertaining experience for families getting together in front of the TV. The cast was good for the movie, and the children were actually doing a really good job in their roles. So if you want to entertain your children with a movie, this would be a good choice.
