I have 4 children, ages 2 - 9. Because of this, I usually see pretty much every child movie that comes out. This one is one that is enjoyable for the children and parents, and I like the fact that it has a hidden message in it about the importance of fathers. As a father, I think that's a pleasant change.
It's pretty funny from the beginning and doesn't really have any boring parts, which is important with young children.
