Saw it last night with Mrs. Lurkin. It is unquestionably intended to be a farce and was even occasionally funny.
Cameron Diaz (you have sexy crows-feet Ms. Diaz!) brightened this film considerably. Without her it might have been unwatchable.
The first scene with Chudnofsky was funny. (”Disco Santa Claus” might be my next screen name) But that one gag is all he had to work with and it wore out quickly.
Have no idea why Edward Olmos agreed to play a bit part.
PG-13 rating: take seriously. Saw little kids in the theater — guess their folks don’t mind them seeing visuals of sticks shoved in eyes and men being crushed by falling cars. (Sweet dreams junior.)
Saw it in 3-d — not worth it IMHO. The effects weren’t that good.
