I knew it would be a family movie so I didn't expect hilarity, but I had a few good laughs. I've always appreciated Kevin James' humor (dating back to first episodes of King of Queens) even though it can be a little slap stick. I'd tell folks about it for sure but I probably wouldn't watch it again.
I did NOT feel like I was sitting in the movie theater for 2 1/2 hours...it was such a great movie! They totally catch you up with everything in the beginning so you don't miss a beat. I went with a friend who had not seen one episode of the show and she absolutely loved the movie. The girls are even better on the BIG screen and the movie is very unpredictable.
