this be your common family comedy represent a lack of realism and fart joke and kid and dopey adult take control and more bad joke and and a busy parent with a struggle relationship with his or her child . what be with the last item on that list . all these family movie have the boilerplate ` i hate you and dad or mom ave me and dad or mom i love you and dad or mom subplots and a if theyre require by law . i think such subplots be dumb when i be young enough to appreciate family movie . a an 18 year old and they look even stupid . i do not think anyone truly get anything from them . even the dumb joke be a good investment of time . still and it not all bad . silly movie like this can be much bad . the acting be decent and assume that several actor be still kid . it sad that they do a career crush film like this . of the five kid and only rachael leigh cook have have a remotely notable role since ( ` she all that and almost three year later ) . a for the adult and i be impressed with rod steiger and david paymer and but couldn not they find something well . most would be horrify to think about a sequel and but with so much to improve and i doubt it could be bad . ( maybe kayla and now in her late teen and fill in for the carpool and chelsea and travis be now teen and with new little kid to take their place . the hijacker could be an early 20 guy so he can have a love or hate relationship with kayla . you groan and but would you rather a cheesy parent or child relationship . ) these be just my raving represent even if you could get the actor to return and the reputation of the original would still be there . then again and maybe the public have forget after four year . my overall impression represent this movie be as mediocre a it get while just how so depend on your age group . kid will enjoy the bad joke . adolescent boy will enjoy kayla outfit . everyone else represent it would not kill you and but there have to be at least one good tape in the store . parent represent be advise that family movie be not the best way to spend time with your kid while this one be no exception . my rating represent 5 .
