Getting Even With Dad Review

The filmmakers have crudely yanked in reminders of Culkin's earlier efforts as he cheekily rampages through his dad's apartment when left home alone, as well as outwitting two idiot thieves. The problem, however, is that Mack has grown up, lost his cutie-pie appeal and turned into a nauseating pre-teen. That, coupled with Danson's lack of big screen charisma, means the pair never capture the delicate father/son relationship the film purports to have at its core. More importantly, the feeble attempts at verbal and physical slapstick are so lacking in humour that they're embarrassing for both the players and audience.
