    Two words that always strike dread into my heart: "family" and "entertainment". Gerard Depardieu and his cute as pie daughter have heartwarming misadventures while I reach for the sick bucket.

    It was an okay little movie.

    This is a solid comedy starring Gerard Depardieu and a very young Katherine Heigl. Gerard is a father taking his daughter on a vacation. Like any typical teenager they do not want to hang with dad while they try and have fun and meet a boy. The father of course trys to spend time...( read more) with the daughter and make sure no boy touches her. A fun film with some funny scenes. Worth at least a one time watch.

    One of Katherine Hiegl's earlier films that wasn't good. I found this cheesy, lame and unfunny. It basically shows a farther who was blind unable what love means to his daughter. Father find his own as the daughter can't due to young age...oh the irony.
