Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Shannon and her mother come into the restaurant, Shannon says she would like to have the Chicken a la Framboise. Her mother says no because Chicken a la Framboise is "Chicken with Strawberries" and she is highly allergic to strawberries. Chicken a la Framboise is "Chicken with Raspberries". Framboise in french means raspberry, strawberry in french is fraise. more

Entertaining for the entire family, 26 April 2004
Author: dbmurray-scribe from North Carolina

Small kids will love this movie for its simply storyline and slapstick silliness, but it's entertaining enough that parents should enjoy watching it too. The headflip into a bucket by the villian that another reviewer mentioned is pretty incredible to see. A restaurant critic who has a number of scenes in various disguises is also quite entertaining. It's refreshing to see a simple predictable film that's well performed once in a while. This film exemplifies just how a "G" rating and an obviously low budget can still entertaining for everyone.

(One warning, though . . . you may have to caution your kids about playing around in the kitchen or in the electrical fuse box after they watch this movie.) :o)
