I can’t apologise enough, but I absolutely loved this movie, lol. While I barely cracked a smile for perhaps the first 45 minutes, it’s around that point where it starts to become something I couldn’t have even begun to expect. Yes, Rob Schneider is annoying and fairly unfunny most of the time. But notice that this movie also has Anna Faris and Rachel McAdams, neither of whom are dummies. It’s the Anna Faris subplot that kind of ripped my heart out – and when McAdams returns at the end of the movie, it’s icing on the cake. Add the perfect little brother, very like the little brother in another of my shameful faves, Slap Her … She’s French, and yes, one or two Rob Schneider giggles, (“Someone shit in the lockerrrrrrr!”) and this is quite amazingly cute and funny stuff. Incidentally, it’s also shockingly clean for its content. That or the Beeb cut some of it.
