A very bad movie (even for a kids' movie)


There are many very good children's movies. Some even rival movies aimed at adults. This one however, was one of the worst I've had to sit through. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since Adam Sandler was involved. Surely the actors involved were just getting a paycheck here. There is no way anybody involved thought they were making something good.

agreed , film wasn't funny, wasn't entertaining .
Caracters -i didn't like any of them in this movie -they wasn't cool nor funny-they looked like idiots here. Plenty failed jokes. i haven't laughed at all , my friend laughed but the reason was me being so sorry paying for this movie.

HORRIBLE movie

I didn't think it was very bad or even just bad. It wasn't great either, though, but it had potential to be better.

Also, I kind of find "even for a kids' movie" questionable, as if kids' movies are necessarily bad by default.

I completely agree, this movie was horrible. It's a shame it has such a high rating when many other fine films have lower scores. It's one of the modern ADHD flicks where every 5 seconds the camera zooms in on someone making an idiotic face. Maybe 3 year olds would find this funny, but it gets old fast. EVERY. FEW. SECONDS. And another character mugs for the camera and makes a goofy face. Again and again and again. Those are the jokes. I don't trust any score on IMDB anymore. Just awful.

Dude...this post seems like you watched it with your girlfriend right before she broke up with you. Then you came on and trashed it because you were just so TO'd.

I'm a huge fan of animated movies for kids and over the years there have been a few that simply didn't click with me. This one goes to the top of the list. Way too long, with a story that we've seen before and done much better. I liked the characters but none of them stood out. Adam Sandler lost whatever talent he he had a long long time ago. 'Mad Monster Party?' from the 60s is better than this.

I thought it was actually very good...but it was all a bit hyperactive for me, I guess kids nowadays all hyper from their Sugar and energy drinks find it normal pace but for me it was so fast paced...could use a few slowed down moments...
