I am reviewing this film after seeing this on a January afternoon with the kids. I must admit I normally don't really like comedy. It is my least favorite genre next to romantic films However I found this to be quite enjoyable and entertaining. As I said I am not a comedy fan and if there are any comedies I do like I prefer the dark comedy or satirical and life like/observational comedy. I have never seen a Will Ferrel movie and had reservations. I do remember Mark Wahlberg ( and brother Donnie) from old days of pop music, so I didn't really expect much from him either. But i was pleasantly surprised on both counts. They actors did a good job and raised a lot of common points. Absent father vs dead beat dad back on the scene. I would give this movie a 7. Good afternoon movie for the family.

This is a new crime drama with Fay Ripley along with two new comers acting along side as police detectives. The style of the programme is some what modern and the use of hand hold cameras and natural acting is quite effective. In this, The first of the episodes, A toddler goes missing. Her parents are interviewed along with her brother. As with all child disappearances every one is a suspect and time is running short! Other suspects are in the frame, including the grandmother and a local shop worker, who was a convicted child killer as a teenager. Is it an open and shut case of kidnap or is something darker a foot?

I give this first episode and 8 out 10. Found it interesting and was thoroughly engrossed in the story!
