Not as bad as I was expecting. Jane Fonda is funny, Jennifer Lopez isn't too shabby, so it's mostly enjoyable but total formula.

The reason Al Queda is still a threat.

Lopez wasn't as annoying as i expected - saying that I only watched about 30mins in the middle. I obviously missed the bit which explained why a dog-walker and receptionist lived in a shit-hot house.

I wish I wasn't so drawn to strong-matriarch-driven narratives and could dismiss this as the cheesy, predictable, cliche, (and slightly racist?) movie it is. Alas, I've seen it three times. I hate myself.

When the best part of a film is the sassy black womans sassy comments punctuated with a comical orchestral brass sting, you know you are watching a film that has no redeeming qualities.

Those 10 points are for Wanda Sykes bravely trying to bring some sass to an otherwise irredeemably bad film.
