An average movie

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, eventually, it turned out to be  nothing great indeed. At least,  I have to admit that that Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo had some good chemistry and they made a nice couple. Unfortunately, it was pretty much the only positive thing I could find about this movie. Indeed, the story was just so weak, predictable and, in fact, I thought it was actually rather mean. What most bothered me was that none of the kids had any personality whatsoever and all their action, thoughts and demeanour were completely plot-driven. Serioulsy, what’s the point to have so many children if none of them would develop whatsoever? Of course, you could argue that it was rather to be expected with such material but my answer would be that with such charming leads, they didn’t really need to make necessarily such a tedious movie. It was especially sad for Rene Russo which would make another movie during the next 6 years. Anyway, to conclude, it is a rather average and boring familly feature and it is not really worth a look.
