i saw this movie on my flight from philly to denver . the screen be three row in front of me and about 12 x 10. so i really wasn not go to watch it . but i like malcolm in the middle and so i thought i would watch just a few minute . next thing i know i be suck in and have a great time and and be please a how good it be and how fast it seem to make the time go by . i agree with that the acting be very good for this level of entertainment . be one of the old baby boomer and i be also pleased to see lee major with a role in the movie and a with a couple of other actor who be famous ( jamiel . ) yesterday but be out of the spotlight today poke fun at themselves . it your basic kid be wrong and kid get even ( and then some ) and and everyone enjoy themselves in the process . no heavy thinking and no great analysis need . just a good fun way to pass the time . 3 . 5 out of 5 .
