Best film my family have watched for years. Funny and clean humour with an interesting storyline. My wife and I and two daughters thoroughly enjoyed it.
Not bad movie, nothing too taxing to follow. Typical kiddy fun for the whole family to enjoy.
The family sat down to watch this.....and the kids never moved until the film had finished..
This movie makes you laugh and takes you back to when you were a child! I have watched this movie over and over..
