Remember that this is a movie about kids who could stand to lose a few pounds around the midsection. It is a great movie about this matter, but not the most well acted movies by Ben Stiller, but certainly better than "The Cable Guy"(1996). Doesn't Ben's character in this film resemble the character in Fox's "Dodgeball"(2004) a little TOO much? The story line is funny, I will give it that, but does not have the pizazz that movies with Stiller have. What makes the film less desirable than what it should be is that Stiller's real parents, Jerry and Anne are also in this. All in all, I give it 7/10 rating. Good enough for a family film for kids.
