something different from Vin Diesel

i liked this movie.it's funny,it has action and it has a good message,but it doesn't hit you over the head with it.i will say though that the beginning of the movie is pretty violent.but once you get past those first few minutes,the tone becomes quite lite.Vin Diesel shows his comedic side,and does very well.there are a lot of funny moments in this movie,and there's also some mild action violence.there are a few mild swear words,but nothing offensive.Brad Garrett also has a funny role and is very good as well.if you liked either Cheaper by the Dozen(2003)or Cheaper by the Dozen 2(2005) with Steve Martin,or Yours Mine and Ours(2005),with Dennis Quaid and Renee Russo,you will probably like this movie.it is very similar in a lot of respects,but i thought it was funnier than any of those movies.it also balances comedy and action very well 4/5
