Negative Positive
Title: Corny!!!!
Review: Am not sure how they talked Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo into doing this movie, but the results are truly not worth their time and talent. Quaid is a widower with eight kids whom he fathers in a military fashion (he being an Admiral in the Coast Guard and all.) Russo is a designer who has a more relaxed mode of parenting. They have a chance meeting which rekindles their high school romance and, before even meeting each other's kids they are married (how likely is that?) The resulting blended brood of 18 kids has a lot of conflicts and even a large lighthouse is not big enough to hold all of them. Eventually they decide to band together to break up their mom and dad so that their life can return to the way it was before their parents married. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out how this all turns out. The script is bad and even the family pet pig can't save this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
