Title: Not much annoying A&C schtick, but not much to redeem it either...
Review: I bought this expecting (based on reviews) something more...Granted, the usual irritating mannerisms weren't plentiful - but there was still plenty of, "Why, you..." and fist shaking.This movie most notably lacked a good script. It took some good ideas (the Jack story is embedded in a modern-day tale of babysitting for a bratty little kid, some potentially charming embellishments on the fairy tale itself), but the writing (this thing must have been churned out in a week or two) didn't do anything with them. The songwriting and choreography are similarly uninspired.The other thing that wasn't there was quality acting/directing (for example, the giant spends most of his time standing around looking threatening).My sons (4 and 5) are big movie fans, and will sit and watch almost anything - they lost interest in this within a few minutes. I made the mistake of continuing to watch, waiting for something good to happen. It never did.
