Just a few questions to show how stupid movie this is: 1. How on earth a 13 year old tribal boy can travel to US from Amazon basin without visa and passport? 2. How can a naked tribal boy with loin cloth come to airport, board on plane without attracting attention? 3. How on earth the tribal boy bring an endemic spider from Amazon to US without being stopped at customs? 4. How come a 6 inch blow gun, and a 2 feet bow goes unnoticed in airport scanner and safely transported from Amazon to US? 5. How come the 12 year daughter of Richard kiss a stinking, forever unbrushed, gross stuff eating mouth of the tribal boy from Amazon?I hope now you understand how stupid is the director and this movie.

... View MoreSam Huntington is excellent in his first role. (He was cut from his first move, 'Boys'.) His wide-eyed innocence brought what charm there is in this movie. His expressions are endearing, and charming. Mimi-Siku wears his loin cloth on the airplane, in downtown New York City, and in offices of his new-found father, undaunted by his exposure. Thankfully they did not portray these activities as embarrassing to Mimi. It is Sam who makes this movie worth watching.His propensity to urinate wherever he chose brought a sense of innocence to the movie, but I would have thought his 'father' would have given him proper instructions earlier.Tim Allen is his usual self: uncaring, distant, self-centered and a huge ego. The only reason young Mimi-Siku seems love his new-found father can only be attributed to the fact that he has probably dreamed of someday meeting his father. Michael, Tim' character, is truly unlikable, especially when compared to the total liability of Mimi. I was disappointed in the end of the movie; it could have been better, but it left the possibility to the viewer, however, overall, this is a charming movie.
