People kept telling me this was like the funniest movie ever. Fifteen minutes in, I was seriously doubting it. Nothing had yet popped up to make me smile, I was too busy being disgusted at all the characters' lack of... anything redeeming. However it DID perk up. Once the kid was on his own he became much less obnoxious, and since all the obnoxious characters were on a plane trip to France we saw very little of them, and all was well. I most definitely wouldn't classify it as one of the great comedies of the century or anything, but I suppose I'm glad I saw it this once. No, I do not intend to see the sequels. I didn't like it that much.Memorable quotes:
"You be positive, I'll be realistic."
(including because it seems to be a rather perfect summing up of my view of life)
"If it makes you feel better, I forgot my reading glasses."
"Bless this highly nutritious microwaveable macaroni and cheese meal."
"Why did you take your shoes off?"
"Why are you dressed like a chicken?"
