Well, I've heard of keeping it in the family but this takes the cake. I knew I was in trouble when I saw Lawrence all over the opening titles but thought, what the heck. I'll give it a shot.
Let's start with Joey. I knew he was in the movie but when I saw him in the Christmas tree scene I thought it was a brother. He wasn't recognizable as Joey. Maybe when you reach a certain age you should consider a different haircut. And, there was just something about those eyebrows. WT... It looked like someone had pasted a couple of dead caterpillars up there. For whatever reason I've never been a fan. Right from the start on Gimme A Break with that silly tag word: Whoa! He's never been able to lose that New York/Jersey accent which adds to his silliness. Sorry Joey. Next.
Enter Matthew. Well, he and his character are pretty likable in this but ya know, some guys just shouldn't do the scruff look. If you can't do a full beard don't do any. Please. I found myself rooting for him anyway.
The acting itself isn't so terrible as to make it unwatchable but this movie would have been better served with decent writing. Also, there aren't enough people who like this family enough to watch them all together. It just smacks of nepotism. I'm over it.
Sorry. I didn't mean to make this a Lawrence bashing but it's challenging not to go there. Show me something with just Joey or just Matthew. Get past the silliness and do something real.
Danielle would do herself well to read the script before accepting a part. Who's managing her, for Godsakes? She's able and way above this mess.
A silly terrible mess. They should've spent more time on development of the relationship rather than fighting over a girl with your brother. Wish I were a consultant.
