7/10
Nice but not exceptional

This movie is fun and enjoyable for all age groups. The characters are well handled and the story is engaging. Despite what is says on the back of the DVD this story is not just about Steve Martin although he is the key protagonist in the movie.

The best parts of the film are with the mother and her daughter and son scenes, The husband and wife scenes and the Old man and his troubled son. These worked well and I felt they were more reflective of the 20th century American Family.

The movie is an easy watch. Rich Moranis and Keanu Reeves are prominent stars that do a good job in the film. They should be given a mention as they were arguable as important as Steve in the film.

An enjoyable film worth the watch.
