I had heard terrible reviews as well but decided to see it anyway with my children. I thought the movie was a GREAT family movie, nothing scary, very comical, very innocent. I get excited to see a movie that we all can enjoy and I especially loved the politician and his assistant. They were so terrible and the politicians commercial towards the end is hilarious. A very good spoof on today's politicians and their self serving agendas. We will definately add this to our collection! BTW Justin Timberlake does a great Boo Boo!
