Bound for the 99 cent video grocery store bin
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
The premise is semi-worthless to begin with: frantic dad sticks his nose in his daughter's business as she begins her college career. There is some humor in that, but somehow, it gets worse. The writing is abysmal; of note are the endless babbling speeches by Lawrence, pre-school intelligence level gags, stereotypical characterizations that went out with the dinosaurs, and horribly executed slapstick scenes. The direction is zero: it just poses Lawrence in your face like he's doing a stand-up routine, while other nameless characters do a lousy job of trying to pretend they think he's funny. The amateurish cast's irritating over-acting makes this cinematic flop even more torturous.
The audience, like the daughter character in the film (Raven Symone of Disney Channel 'That's So Raven' fame), will want to escape from Lawrence's manic ramblings as quickly as possible. Expect this one to have a very short general-release lifetime before it gets shelved in the 99 cent video grocery store bin, and mercifully forgotten.
