I don't understand it.

This movie absolutely bombed & dissapeared from theaters faster than anything I've ever seen before. It never even made it to the second run houses. The problem is, it wasn't bad at all. My wife & I watched it tonight & laughed all the way thru. We loved the way they make fun of all the suburban cliches, just like Date Night, the Simpsons, & the Vacation movies. All those jokes are true! We're living it right now. And man, I must say, Gal & Isla were hot, hot, hot. I don't get why it did so bad at the movies. It was fun!

I thought it was great too. The jokes were fairly subtle so i think the humor was just not wide enough for high numbers of viewers.
