Remake of Swiss Family Robinson (1960)

Not enough Sarah Michelle Gellar to make it work

" Beverly Hills Family Robinson " is a dull,uneventful film that just did`nt work at all

The direction was patchy,the script was awful and some of the acting bad ( both Dyan Cannon and Martin Mull were mr and missus boring ) but worst of all there was simply not enough Sarah Michelle Gellar to make it even passable.

In short not one of the greatest movies ever to come from Disney !!!!

Rating $$ out of $$$$$ ( those marks are for Sarah and nothing else )
