It is a funny thing.... I didn't want to watch this movie, because I don't really care for Bob Saget. However, I do like Brian Bonsall. So I went ahead and watched it. I found it pretty good, despite Bob Saget. In fact, I rather enjoyed Bob's acting in it. He fit the part perfect. I guess I should overlook Bob's stupid acting in America's Funniest Home Video's. So if you want to watch a pretty funny movie, with a good story line, this movie will do just fine..... :)

I happened to pick this film up at my local Blockbuster one weekend and was surprised because it was not bad. The story involves a paranoid author named Spenser Paley (Bob Saget, who I believe filmed this in his second to last season of "Full House".) Saget has not been spending to much time with his son (Brian Bosnall, form Family Ties. When Bosnall gets invited to go on a camping trip with his school Saget does nothing but ruin it by complaining. His companion is Stuart Pankin (who played the sheriff in Arachnophbia.) His enemy is David Graf (Who played Sam in The Brady Bunch Movie.) I loved Bob Saget growing up on Full House so it is not too surprising I enjoyed it. I will warn you however there are many corny jokes and if you are not a Saget fan stay away from it. Otherwise enjoy the show! Rated PG for some vulgarity and violence.

Sagot did a good impression of a working father that is inept when it comes to the great outdoors. His character will make you laugh at times also, whenever he makes remarks about the condition of the camp. The Story was OK, however it isn't anything new, but I guess it won't confuse you either. Kids may or may not find it funny, it really depends on them, and if they know Bob Sagot. I found it interesting, but not amazing. Definitely something to watch if your looking for something that has a few laughs and an OK story. All in all, it was good and it isn't to long, so you don't lose anything by watching it - well except about 1 hour and 45 minutes.

In some ways, I feel cheated that I missed out on this movie for so many years. At the same time, I cannot help but thank life for letting me experience the beauty and genius contained in this film; its power has purified and prepared my soul for eternity. It centers around Saget and his son as they enjoy a summer scout trip on an island off the coast of California. Rather than using this time to bond with his son, Saget views the trip as a chance crack wise and to vent his feelings of failure as both a father and a man. The movie quickly degrades into a shameless exhibition of pathos as Saget himself embodies the role of an emasculated man-child, delivering the viewer a performance that is not likely to be surpassed in greatness in our lifetime. By the movie's end, even Saget's teenage son has become so uncomfortable with his father's inadequacies as a human that he would sooner leave the island than to be further associated with the abomination that God gave him as a father. With powerful supporting performances from legends like Tackleberry from "Police Academy", Susan from "Seinfeld", and annoying, fat man, from "Alien Fury: Countdown to Invasion" this movie serves as a tribute to every soldier who has given their live defending our country and right to make movies of such importance to humanity.
