The only positive about this film is the performance by Ben Stiller, who (fortunately for him) had the only worthwhile script. Great actors can always do remarkable things with weak material, and DeNiro, Hoffman and Streisand do just that. The problem is that this script is so weak, that even when elevated by such accomplished actors, it still stinks. The gags are way too predictable to be funny. And just to restate, the writing (especially for the children) is simply amateurish. Oh, and while we're on the children, they reminded me of the kids in any school play...they're just not actors and are not likely ever to be. If you must see this to complete the set, catch it on cable. It'll probably be there before Superbowl Sunday.
