Forget about the plot. It's a awful and implausible plot but then that's an irrelevance to make the formula successful. This film lacks the cats, dogs and magic but has plenty of kids and a duck, and the kids cover the various different traits, from mischievous baby to spoilt teenager. Vin Diesel fulfils the role perfectly well and easily switches from his role as an action man to that of the father figure. Using his gadgets and military know-how he attempts to tame the children and the message is clear as they also start to have an impact on him. It's a film with some entertaining pranks to keep the younger audience interested and even the action sequences are choreographed to provide maximum entertainment. It works for a while but is unlikely to warrant repeat viewing, so sit down with low expectations and you might be suitably rewarded.
Adult score: 2/5
Child score: 5/5
