    This is a Children's movie
    If anyone reviews it as an adult movie, that is their mistake.

    There was no solid plot. It was mainly a bunch of funny scenes sewn together to make a plot. I saw two established actors I enjoy very much, Dennis Haysbert and Judy Greer. I was also introduced to another established actor I had not seen before, Keegan Michael Key. He was very funny. I would say he stole the movie. I was also introduced to a new actor, for whom I predict a bright career, if she stays with these "good" movies, Brianna Hildebrand.
