Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The male fantasy of cheerleader spouse, well-adjusted kids and expanding waistline.
A benignly crude slice of family hysteria.
Lazy is the word.
It's not so hilarious that you need to rush to see it but not so bad that you will suffer unduly if you take a chance on its more-or-less family friendly charms.
