okay and i will admit that if i do not have kid and i never would have see this film and would never see it . but and consider all the rotten kid movie i have see ( such a spy kid 2 or babe represent pig in the city ) and this be a significant improvement . and and it have enough in it that i wasn not totally bore out of my skull or contemplate suicide ( something i do repeatedly in the other two movie ) . sure and the performance be pretty broad and the plot be kinda silly but it be a kid film . and and compare with other film in the genre and this be definitely good than average . frankie muniz and amanda bine actually appear to have some talent and probably will continue to have career after puberty at least on infomercial or do voice over . so and if you be look for a film to see with your kid and you certainly could do a lot bad .
