Title: Fun Premise Terribly Executed
Review: When a suburban family whose idea of "the American Dream" is living in a small NYC apartment and getting their daughter into a preppy school, hilarity ensues....or it should have. I am a huge Neil Patrick Harris fan, and Amy Sedaris often has moments of comic genius. Here though, their talent is squandered while navigating a script that was miraculously made in the first place. There is a reason this movie is direct-to-DVD, and isn't worth watching for anything. I am no prude, but there were scenes in this movie so inappropriate within the context of the premise, I found myself offended. Many scenarios are forced and silly (the bad kind of silly), and the movie couldn't end soon enough for me. You were warned.
Is the review positive or negative?
