Criticism
" Good-natured family comedy that remains to be well-behaved and harmless despite good lead actor as well as many corny jokes and slapstick. While initially the seemingly middle-class family idyll is unmasked, the last third effort with moralizing impetus to bring the family back on the right path. "
