I came into this with low expectations and was surprised – it’s a genuinely funny comedy which manages to be schmaltzy without selling out. Of course Vince Vaughan and Reese Witherspoon are going to learn the value of family – just not their own because they are annoying, really. There is an irritating over-reliance on slapstick gags to get jokes, but when this is on target it really flies. Vaughan and Witherspoon make a great time, and the support cast is excellent - Jon Voight, Jon Favreau, etc.
