I went into this movie expecting one thing, and got exactly what I wanted. A fun quick flick that's wholesome and quite funny. The four leading ladies all give great performances and play so well with the goofy tone of the film. It seems to know what it is and never takes itself to seriously. At times it felt like it was relying a bit to much on it's cameos, and in some cases there wasn't enough. I needed more Gronk! Tom Brady also seemed to prove himself as an okay actor. While I don't see a great acting career in his future, he does a lot better than many other athletes playing themselves on screen.

Overall the movie is just a good time. It's a bit cheesy, has a low budget feel, and doesn't give a whole lot of new things to the table, but is funny and still a good movie that deserves any love it gets.

I feel like many people are blind to this movie because of Wes Anderson. No matter how you try to explain it, the scene of the two main children dancing on the beach was not something that should have ever been filmed. Two child actors being told to touch and kiss each other by a grown man just isn't okay and their parents should not have signed off on this. The movie over all is just okay. As usually the directors specific filming style was satisfying to watch, but the addition of this scene makes it very hard to watch, I wouldn't recommend watching this movie and personally I won't be watching anything new that Wes Anderson has to make.
