The kids and I watch this DVD regularly. And we always enjoy the music and the feel good fun... It is a kids movie and as such it should be treated with some levity and give it a break.. The cgi etc is fine and does it job.. And it's funny in spots..and all the characters are well cast, Tim Allen is always watchable and while I don't remember this in the cinema, it is better then a lot of the stuff I have been dragged to over the years. So if you're looking for a movie to watch with the kids they will enjoy it, the sets are fun.. While the story is silly at times it still feels like it could be made into a series or have come from a series.

At first, this didn't seem much like a movie to be taken seriously. Of course, the "auditions" were quite funny and disgusting.Tim Allen came across as a grumpier Tim Taylor/Mike Baxter. A great line to illustrate his attitude: "Why is the green dress talking?" I liked the way he resisted trying to be helpful until he finally realized how important it was.I liked Summer and Cindy. Summer looked good and had just enough attitude. Cindy was so cute, complete with a lisp.And Marsha was adorable and gorgeous. Jack thought she looked better without glasses? I thought she looked pretty good with them. But the clumsy routine didn't work so well for me. That's just not how I think of Courteney Cox, and the day before I saw this, there was another pretty but clumsy female scientist who was even less suited to such a role.And Chevy Chase ... can anyone take him seriously? I have this memory of his being associated with quality. "Caddyshack" and "Foul Play" at the very least. What happened to him? But he's still entertaining in his own way.Rip Torn is an actor known for quality, and at least considering the material he seemed to be convincing, but I still have to wonder why this?But the movie changes about halfway through. It is a worthwhile experience, a real comedy/adventure with the emphasis on adventure, and seems like a quality production. Except now Chevy Chase becomes even more of a liability.Then the prom happens, and we're back to square one. The final scenes are pretty amazing, though, especially the visual effects.It's a kids' movie, but that doesn't excuse lack of attention to quality. And it was there, just not all the way through.But I'm about Jack's age, and I enjoyed it enough.

I had to review this just because its been given such a low rating by most of the other users on this site.This is a decent, fun kids movie, if you have young kids I'm sure this would be great to watch with them on DVD.Tim Allen is a funny,likable guy, he plays his character like he does in all his other movies, so if your a Tim Allen fan, you shouldn't hate this movie.Chevy Chase, is pretty much what you'd expect, funny guy, OK so it's by far and away not his best movie, but he's just playing the clown in a kids movie, and he plays that part fine.The story is not disagreeable, if your a kid you'll probably like it. Another reviewer said that it would go down as one of the terrible movies of our time, like Howard the Duck, well I remember watching Howard the Duck on video when I was a kid, and I loved it! If I had watched this when I was a kid I would probably have loved this too.So credit to the writers and all involved for making a GOOD/fun kids movie. (I was going to say a GREAT/fun kids movie, then realized that this is NOT a GREAT kids movie, that would be going into the realms of the Goonies etc, but this movie is definitely worthy of pass marks)
