Are you ready for this? One noted national critic said, "All you have to do is clean up a few sentences and this would be a great movie for the kids." Unreal. Only some clueless Liberal critic would be this stupid about what constitutes something you'd want your kid to see.
The film begins with a bunch of language problems capped off my a woman about to give oral sex to a guy in the back seat of a cab. Yup, sounds a good "family film" to me!! (At least, if your family happens to have a dad who is in the White House looking at interns.)
Speaking of names, how about Mr. T, Bill Mahar, the Barbarian Brothers (bodybuilders Peter and Paul), Gary Busey and Paul Rodriguez? Does that still sound like "family fare?"
Forgetting the family angle, and the "usual suspects" listed above aren't as bad as it may sound, this movie does sport a general "good" and a "bad." The bad is that a lot of it is just plain stupid. But stupid can be funny. Jim Varney made stupid funny as "Ernest P. Worrell," but not many of these lame actors, led by Mr. T., who will never be confused with Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro or Morgan Freeman, can pull it off.
The "good" is that there actually are some nice messages in here, mainly that one can pull oneself up and make something out of a bad situation. It's a positive message, overall, believe it or not....so the film is not entirely as dumb as it looks.....sort of.
