This movie was good and funny due to the actor - Steve Martin portraying things that actually happen in real life and what people can relate to. Most of the movie you are saying 'oh my god' and 'he's not going to do that', which i quite enjoy that type of comedies. I have been a big fan of Queen Latifah acting career due to her getting those roles off pure talent not being a skinny, white, blonde, petite actress and can relate to her on some levels. This movie is something the whole family can enjoy.

One of the better Steve Martin movies, Queen Latifah is well casted with him to form a team of opposites and the trouble that can bring to his well ordered life as a lawyer.

An amusing, and likable movie, that had moments where you laugh out loud, then you sit back and just enjoy the story, and wait to see what happens next. Queen Latifah is great in this. 3 Paws.

Very funny. Queen Latifah is a very talented actor and makes this movie. Eugene Levi is funny as allways. Steve Martin needs to retire allready...

I though this movie was pretty good, it had an original storyline, and was enjoyable for the whole family. Very entertaining!! Will watch again.

Depends on your mood. Passable I guess. Not up to Steve Martin's best I feel though.

Some of the comedy scenes were worth a rewind - look for the scene where Queen Latifah does a bit of gospel singing - but overall I though her acting was wooden and lacked depth.

An ok movie. Storyline is a bit predictable. Steve Martin puts in his usual acceptable performance. Overall midly amusing with one or two really funny scenes

The kids enjoyed it...I thought all the best bits were shown in the advertisements on T.V....one to get when you want to get something for the kids that doesn't show rude bits.
