Being the huge VD fan that I am, I had to see this movie even though its not my normal cup of tea. Overall it was pretty good. There was a couple of good actions scenes to keep me satisfied and Vin really came across well in the strict-military babysitter role. The ending was filled with cheese but I enjoyed it.

Disney to the max. Cheesy "Everyones happy now!" ending, by the books. But aside from that, it's quite enjoyable. More action than I've seen from a typical Disney comedy, which is refreshing to see and also is quite funny, which is another surprise. Vin Diesel was actually pretty good with comedy. Overall, an enjoyable little Disney flick. B

Though I was forced to see this, I actually didn't think it was that bad. It was... funny. Seriously, the trailers made it seem like Daddy Day Care 2, but it was so much better than the ridiculous Daddy Day Care was. Vin Diesel, in his first Disney role, did a decent job. This is a hardcore Disney flick, but I enjoyed it. It wasn't great or anything, but I'd definently recommend it to all kids (my sister loved it), and Disney fans. I'm not a fan of Disney, but this was fairly decent.

Well, looks like I never graded this. I saw it last Saturday, too. My dad is a sucker for these flicks, and we were waiting for Hitch, so we snuck in. I like Vin. I'll admit it. The movie was lame, and hardly that funny. Not even slapstick. But I still liked it. I would give it a C+ and I think that's enitrely fair.

Well, I certainly wasn't expecting much from this movie and it delivered exactly what I was expecting. A family-friendly, harmless entertainment with childish and unfunny jokes. The movie was clearly aimed at the very oung audiences, so I could not derive much fun from it, but I did chuckle here and there a couple of times. Vin Diesel does a fairly decent job and I was not bored. The movie starts off surprisingly well, but soon descends into the depths of unfunny kid flicks.
