User Review
Even the Kiddies Weren't Buying It
Rating: 1/10
Today I had to sit through this movie several times. :-(
As an adult, it wasn't funny or entertaining. But what amused me was
the reaction from the kids in the audiences. Almost none of the kids
laughed out loud during the matinée viewing (the showing with the most
kids in attendance).
Some take away comments from the mouth of babes: "Is it over YET?" "I'm
bored" and my personal favorite "That wasn't so funny at all." (poor
kid said it over and over again with the "big" jokes.) Plus, I had
never seen so many kids ready to leave after the first 15 minutes.
It didn't get better over the course of the evening.
