Kevin Franklin has a dream, but he's having trouble finding the fast lane to his first million.

Borrowing from loan sharks to finance a new business, Kevin finds himself in debt to the Gasperini Brothers.

Seizing an opportunity to escape, Kevin passes himself off as a prominent Baltimore dentist to an unsuspecting family, The Youngs, becoming their house-guest for a weekend.......

Sinbad was never a big star here in the UK, the movie he will be remembered for here is Jingle All The Way, as the one who was annoying Schwarzenegger for the duration of the film.

But as always in the US, the nineties always seemed to give popular TV stars a three picture deal, David Caruso was one, but he sank big time, despite some big films, and there was this guy, who was given some safer projects.

And this is one of them, a film where the family are not getting along, a supposed family friend arrives,who is a little different from before, and before you can say 'it's a wonderful life' everyone loves each other, and the bad guys are given their just desserts.

Sinbad is watchable, and the rest of the cast are stereotypical to this genre, but in the end, its harmless, slightly diverting stuff.

And that would make a wonderful poster quote 'slightly diverting'

Wonderfully endorsed by McDonalds....
