I laughed a few times at Dax Shepard, but I don't know if it was because he was funny or because the everyone else in the movie put forth so little effort to make any kind of actual humor that he was just a breath of fresh air. I guess Matt Dillon and Justin Long tried a little bit too. It's sad when people with little bit parts try harder to make a movie good than the studio, stars, writers and director.

The greatest horror of Christmas with the family is being forced to watch garbage like this. Robin Williams might be a somewhat solid actor in serious roles, but he is just not funny. The plot is stupid and the gags are downright painful to sit through.

I see that it's ridiculous, unoriginal, and hokey, but I don't see how anyone could flat out hate it.

SUCH A DAD FILM. But I giggled a few times, for the slapstick humor. But the actual plot was retarded.

Punchlines with no set up. Constant montages. A torrent of shit.

MASTERPIECE.

Not as bad as I was expecting, but considering my expectations were pretty low, that's still not saying a whole lot.

ok it's riddled with clichés and incosistensies but it made me laugh bellyaching laughs

another silly movie about two guys who can hardly cope with kids. not very funny and absolutely predictable. although, oompa-loompa joke really made me laugh.

Old Derps

Honestly, if no the worst movie I ever saw, it is at least the worst movie I can think of right now.

I translated this movie into Czech for the DVD distribution and wasn't bored to death and that counts I think:)

A pretty bad movie. Had some laughs, but too, well, for lack of a better term, retarded.

I had no idea what this was about but I thought, "John Travolta and Robin Williams? It can't be that bad." But it was. It was awful. It was so fucking bad I walked out. DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE.

I watched this movie over the Thanksgiving weekend with my family and it was good enough to kill time. I will be the first to admit that I did laugh a couple of times but this was by no means a movie that means to try any harder than a cheap laugh. A brief glimpse shows that it is stacked with star power but nothing is done really to utilize it since the movie has a bare bones plot. In the end it did its job but I really can't recommend it to a serious film viewer

Terrible.

Assaultively cute

I appreciate that actors span their usual repertoire, but let's be honest, John Travolta's quite horrible comedy actor. And above all the script was terrible as well. The pacing sucked and jokes were on a level of young kids. But brothers and sisters, there was the whole family of Travolta's in there.

More like: "Old men trying to do something about their acting carreers!"

Relatively weak film, this film is not a knee-slapper as we would expect from Robin Williams, and at the same time it is not good drama. It it just weak on all accounts.

I'll agree with others that this was not a good movie, but I did get some very good laughs from this film.

nothing can be funny when dogs are involved,8 for Preston's appearance.

why did i watch this? i really dont know!

A nightmare.

The movie was disgusting. I don't mean it's a really really bad movie. Well, it is but it was literally disgusting: As in, "there were some scenes that intended to be funny but it turned out to be disgusting". The little red haired gay man and his gorilla friend, the longest shower scene in my life with Robin Williams' boobies (and a penis shaped showerhead at the bottom), the painful stretching out exercise at the camp, that wierd, boozy tea party and so on... Hell, isn't this a kids' movie?

Ok, so this was meant to be a rated R movie but was cut up and watered down to be PG. Yeah, that's fairly apparent. I can't imagine what the R-rated version would have been like.
