    Fairly commical I guess... It was entertaining and funny, slightly old though. Some of the jokes were lame, expected, and I guess you can say, seen before. I didn't particularily like the acting quality of Ron Livingston either, it was kinda lame and lacking...

    the sex scene was unnecessary. this movie was miserable to watch because i hate movies about bad thing after bad thing happening. the ending was extremely predictable as soon as they told him they weren't his parents. danny devito is miserable, though Campbell is absolutely lovely

    This movie was a very hum-drum boring trying to be a copy cat of "Meet the Parents". Although it had some excellent people in it like "Kathy Bates" and Danny DeVito" they still did'n't make this film any more wonderful to watch.
