I really thought it would not be that great. My daughter bought the movie and I heard them laughing so I went and join them to finish watching it and joined in on the laughter at the funny parts. It had some really funny scenes and Daniel Stern is not that bad playing the 'old man'. The only pet peeve I had was the young man who played Raphie was by the end of the movie showing some major dark roots (only a woman would probably notice this). All in all my family enjoyed it and laughed a lot. The youngest one in the home to the oldest one in the home liked the movie. It is a decent family movie for all to enjoy. It is not near as good as the original but I would recommend watching it.
