Sabotage a marriage just to fix it???????


Are those kids F@#$%^^& nuts? They went through a lot of trouble to get their parents to break up only to get them back together???

Are you kidding me? That's like Elmer Fudd, wishing he could take back killing Bugs Bunny, crashing a car just so you can drive it, drowning someone just so they can breath, keeping a pop cycle cold by keeping it in the sun...


Can you see why this is without a doubt one STUPID movie!!

I can see why you'd say that but I think what happened was that in the process of them trying to break up the parents, they grew to liking each other. It's almost like the Parent Trap. When you bring opposing sides together and they end working together to achieve a common goal, someone on those sides are going to end up liking someone from the opposing side.

mean the little kids, are children and most of the time children will hate each other one day then are best friends the next. But the older kids were the ones doing most of the sabotaging and dragging the younger ones along with them. So doing all of that trouble brought them closer together. Twisted yes, but effective. That's how I saw it anyway.

The movie isn't the best one around but it's cute for what it is.

Yes! It was very predictable but IMO, it has enough charm to pull it off, as well as never taking itself too seriously.

I'm gonna assume you never saw the original? as this is a remake of the 1968 version with Lucille ball and Henry Fonda? in both films the kids don't want their parents together, and they eventually get along and fix things and come clean about sabotaging their parents. so don't blame the write or the director for it being "stupid" to you, wanna blame someone? blame the ORIGINAL 1968 VERSION!

The extreme always makes an impression.
