    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The scene where Lulu tells Shane that she thinks he's cute and Shane's embarrassed response was based on a real-life incident on set. Morgan York (the actress who plays Lulu), upon meeting Vin Diesel, actually said that to him and he awkwardly responded with a "thank you". The director thought it was so funny that he put it in the film.
    • Goofs
      When the Navy SEALs are addressed, they are referred to as soldiers. This is incorrect as SEALs are navy sailors, and are addressed as such.
    • Quotes

      Lulu Plummer: Do you know Kung Fu?

      Shane Wolfe: Yes.

      Lulu Plummer: Have you ever hit a guy so hard his head came off?

      Shane Wolfe: No.

      Lulu Plummer: Why are your boobs so big?

      Shane Wolfe: [shocked] They are not... boobs.

      Lulu Plummer: Do you have to wear a bra?

      Shane Wolfe: What?

      Lulu Plummer: Will mine be as big as yours one day?

      Shane Wolfe: Isn't it about time you go nappy-poo in beddy-bye land?

      Lulu Plummer: Do I look like I'm five?

      Shane Wolfe: What did I say?

      Lulu Plummer: Disrespectful. And to think I was interested in you.

    I thought it was pretty good.
    Okay, first this movie is great for what it is meant to be, a family friendly comedy romp. It has funny moments, touching moments, it gives you chuckles and even a few laughs. It isn't trying to win awards or stun the audience with special effects. You sit down, watch it, laugh a little, think about how cute the kids are, then go on with the rest of your day. A lot of action stars have taken a turn at comedy to soften their image, Stallone and Arnold S. to name a couple, so Vin Diesel is in good company there. I think it is a decent, light movie worth at least a matinée viewing. The kids are charmers, Vin Diesel doesn't seem to mind being the but of jokes, and most of the acting is good. And ladies, he spends most of the movie in tight t-shirts, and according to my wife has a nice posterior region. Guys you have to settle for Lauren Graham's sweet smile.
