    Exceptional? ....No.

    Serious? ....No.

    Lighthearted? ....Yes.

    Funny? ....Yes.

    Full of morals and clichés? ....You bet.

    But it's the Bullied verses the Bully and most of us, especially those of us who might have been in similar circumstances, like these kind of movies; don't we? Obviously this movie isn't meant to be taken too seriously and Tim Allen pulls it off nicely and, along with the support characters, they combine to make this one of those movies you can enjoy without having the feeling you have to barf.
