The movie is cute, and individually many of the characters are played to perfection. Honestly, I'm just happy to see Brendan Frasier. Love him, and he does the crazy well. The only thing that kept me from enjoying this movie is Josh Brolin. Sorry Mr. Brolin, i heart you, and you and Mr. Dinklage, actually had good chemistry, and your lines and delivery were good, but you are not 40 something. Based on the story timeline, you guys should have been about 45, Dinklage pulls this off way better than you. For me it just didn't work, I just couldn't get past it. In addition each character, was just that , a character, and played to over the top, which fits this type of movie perfectly, and you can't take it too seriously, but then there are times it just misses. You see what they were going for, and ...it just doesn't make it. Peter Dinklage is the only reason this movie is worth seeing. There are some impressive dialogues in the movie, so if you are serious movie fan, that like to take the higher road, analyze, evaluate, feel the emotions, this might be the one for you. There is certainly opportunity there. If you are looking for pure entertainment, I can see where a certain mind set would find it funny. Mostly, i didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either, again, sorry Mr. Brolin, but just couldn't get past your casting.

I loved the last 1/3 of the movie, but the rest was a little hard to get through. But a great Sunday, low expectation movie. Lol.
