Robin Williams and John Travolta are both legends of the silver screen so it is such a shame to see them turn up in this pretty poor Disney family comedy.
The premise is borrowed a lot from 'Three Men and a Baby' but this film can't claim to be as a smart or as funny as that film. Too often the stars are reduced to doing ridiculous things in order to score a cheap laugh, and the attempts at sentiment are wasted because we just don't care enough about the main characters in order to do so.
I tried to like this film, I tried to stick with it, but even my admiration for the two stars couldn't maintain my interest.
