Good Family Film with Many Amusing Highlights - By: Erika Borsos, 31 Jan 2006
Starring Farrah Fawcett Majors (Sandy, the divorced mom), Chevy Chase (Jack, the hot shot lawyer boyfriend/fiance who moves in with the divorced mom) & Jonathan Taylor Thomas (son, Ben, who has unresolved feelings of abandonment due to his real dad, suddenly & unexpectedly without remorse, having left him & his mom). The film is a classic comedy where Ben does what he can to test the new "dad-to-be". In fact, his whole plan is to drive Jack out of his mom's life. The fact is ... his plan backfires.

Jack does whatever it takes to win Ben over. He even joins the Indian scouts, a group in which Ben feigns interest, which he expects will send Jack over the edge. Surprisingly, it has the opposite effect, Ben ends up looking forward to the adventures in the wild, especiallly a planned canoe trip. Unfortunately, it is the one time Jack does not show up ... convincing Ben, Jack is like his dad.

Bigger problems loom in th horizon for Jack, who is nearly killed by the son of a mob-type stalker & his buddies who are exacting revenge for having placed his father in jail. The climactic build up & suspense in the film is worth viewing for oneself. This is a family entertainment style film where alll the problems are resolved in the end. The film is amusing & makes the viewer feel good. While much of the film is predictable, that is why it does not disappoint the viewer. Erika Borsos (bakonyvilla)
