Thoughts
I was really expecting this to be a disappointing film, particularly after giving up on the Arnie comedy Twins recently. But it was far better than it had any right to be. I mean, in reality this film is predominantly Schwarzenegger hanging around with six year olds and being completely adorable. But there are other elements of comedy that prop it up, the partner is brilliant, the baddies cartoonish, and the happy ending a satisfying one.
