The outcome of this movie is known from the start but there are still enough witty exchanges, arguments, and bonding scenes to make the journey worthwhile once thorough. I don't think anyone will see this film more than that. Michelle Pfeiffer is very convincing in her role and Mr. Clooney has the abundant roguish charm to make his character very likeable. The child actors also play off each other and the adult leads very well mostly because of their innate child qualities. All in all a slightly better than average diversion, 7/10.
