There is only about 15 minutes of set-up/backstory in the beginning. After that's over this movie is non-stop action. Very realistic action sequences. If my kids ever ask to go to Europe unescorted, this is the movie I will have them watch to explain why I said "HELL NO!"
Very good family movie, that turned out to have a positive message. Our group represented three different age groups; 11, 19, and thirty-something. All of us enjoyed the story and the understated "message" of the movie.
I have always been a fan of the original TV series, so I went to see the movie with my daughter. They did a good job recreating the characters with new actors. Lots of very funny bits. My daughter and I found ourselves laughing a lot.
