User Reviews

DON'T TAKE THIS MOVIE VERY SERIOUSLY

At moments it can be annoying but not very often. It has a pretty good cast. Keegan Michel Key in particular is hilarious, John Cena and his Crew are pretty good, The kids and everyone else are pretty good too. But it lacks in emotion even though my sister cried. Overall a decent movie you SHOULD NOT take seriously and if you don't take it seriously you will have a good time.
