This movie is not very popular to begin with but the trailers made it look at least passable. BOY WAS I WRONG! While it has it's moments of being funny and heartwarming this movie for the most part is atrocious! The characters played by Tom Arnold and Joan Cusack were very annoying! Hugh Grant in my opinion is a little miscast. Juliane Moore is a good actress but she is wasted with bad material to work with. Jeff Goldblum is fairly entertaining. Robin Williams as the Russian doctor was one of the movie's only highlights. He actually made me laugh a little but it's a shame that he's surrounded by such a bad movie. The scene with the Barney like dinosaur should have made me laugh but it didn't. For some reason that scene was painful to watch. This movie is not without it's moments but for the most part it's terrible. It's a shame because this movie could have worked as something like Mrs. Doubtfire. I'm going to compare this to another unpopular comedy called Father's Day with Billy Crystal and Robin Williams. That was not a great movie but I think it's at least passable because those two actors play well off of each other and it has some laughs and there's absolutely no way now that those two can be in another movie together. This movie however is not passable and hardly works at all.
