Soooo fun. Great for the whole family. My 8 year old boy and 15 year old daughter loved it. I laughed out loud mybe 10 times and got watery eyes several times. A postive loving ending.
A nice, funny movie for the family.
Iove is at great
I took my nephew and son, they both loved it.
it was okay. had funny moments.
Absolutely love it. My kids did too
movie isnt that funny or okay. no one really laughed, not even the kids
Kids loved it. Parents will not.
Make a sequel of it
At first I was so bothered by how rudely behaved the kids were. It frustrated me! After getting through a few minutes, it was absolutely hilarious and well my husband and I cried a few times. It’s definitely worth the watch. Kid appropriate film and adult as well.
great for a family day my son really loved it he is 5.5 we laughed so much
It is a movie beholden to disparate, disconnected moments of physical comedy (usually performed most adeptly by Keegan-Michael Key), and makes no sense beyond this. It's not to say this is a "bad" movie, but I can't imagine recommending it beyond a few choice moments that could've easily been YouTube clips. Ehhhhh.
This movie is extremely family friendly to the point that it’s almost kind of boring to an adult but I would say it’s definitely something you can take the kids to. It is an entertaining movie but it can get a bit silly.
Amazing
I walked out it was bad.
For sure buying when releases in disc.
It’s ok. Not as funny as I thought it would be.
love the movie
great family fun movie
I love it and would see it again
A+

A Good Family Movie 👌🏽
It wasn’t as funny as I thought...kind of boring.
Moments of funny
Great family movie.
Great family-oriented movie
Loved it !!
really good and funny
The kids really loved it. Went and there was a lot of laughter and just an overall fun time.
This movie is soooo funny. It’s just a really great movie overall
This movie is exactly what you expect it to be. Hilarious! Heart warming. Cute and a little corny. Overall, a great family movie!
Was an ok movie
It was a decent movie but had slow moments at time. Love John Cena though.
I really liked this movie. My husband and I went, we don’t have kids but you don’t need kiddos to enjoy and family friendly movie. John cena and the other cast members do a fantastic job in the movie.
Funny but not as funny as I thought it would be.
Started out a little corny, but about 10 minutes from the start it got very funny and heartwarming.
It was cute, but not what I thought it’d be. :(
Love this movie. It makes me want to go back to theaters to watch movies again.
Such a great movie! Lots of laughs and some tears. Definitely recommend seeing this movie!
Thought it was weird at first but then as the story developed it was cool and great.
Bad
Great for all ages.
Had some slow parts, but overall a good movie.
Metacritic
This is beyond inept.
Director Andy Fickman (“Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2”) favors poop jokes and the cringe-humor of watching little kids court danger with a nail gun, kerosene, an ax and sometimes literally fire.

This mirthless comedy about a manly crew of smokejumpers helplessly babysitting a trio of rescued brats has more dead air in it than a radio broadcast hosted by a narcoleptic disc jockey.
