  Editor Review 25 June 2010

  

  I watched this last night with nana and the kids with low expectations, and although the story is simple and full of cliché, it is extremely funny and had us all laughing uncontrollably. John Travolta is actually funnier than Williams in general, as his business partner and friend who is also a confirmed bachelor. Travolta's un-child friendly home is the setting for much of the action, as Williams is unable to take his kids to his apartment because there are 'no kids allowed'. Yes there are several metaphorical comparisons to dogs and kids, that usually tend to make me cringe, but they are not really overt. The end is utterly predictable to us old dogs but the kids really found the scenes at the bereavement party and the Zoo hilarious, and I have to admit - I did too! Great fun viewing for a rainy Sunday or Bank Holiday for all the family.
  
  Verdict
  Typical family comedy - with lots of very funny moments!
