Tubi is a free app that is heavily commercialized to keep it free, so I didn't expect much, but then you find The Asylum is involved, so you know the production is probably on life support. With the headliners though, you expect a little more. I went into this optimistically, but found no redeeming qualities in this movie. It definitely wasn't even on par with an afternoon special. The premise is fully unbelievable. The children are fully wooden. The adults are treated like they all have sub 90 IQ. The main character's father is imbecilic. The security guard could have been played a little smarter, but was kept below idiotic. The teacher was an inept fool. The board president body guards were abismally inept and stupid. Although the principal was hardly seen, he was the only redeeming quality of this movie. And for those fans of old school 70s tv, you should pick up quick on who the principal is. Finally, the president of the board. Lord knows his acting past has been mostly subpar, even when he was on SNL, but come on, you're supposed to be better than this. You were mildly humorous at one time, playing sniveling little side pieces, but come on, you are now just an eyesore. Asylum is absolutely the worst at everything it touches, and this supposed family comedy is further proof it should just go away. This movie is an insult to families, to children, and to anyone who falls prey to the catchy name and poor references to any good Robin Hood production. A stoned person high on valium may enjoy this right before a crash.
