I'm honestly glad I found the title because I'm gonna start saying everything wrong about it! The actors:they look as if they never acted before and I can see how they felt uncomfortable doing this! It made me cringe just looking at them! The storyline: The parents just leave their kids to mind the rest of their family restaurant. I consider this child abuse, why weren't social services involved?! It just doesn't make any sense to leave your children alone in a restaurant, what if they burnt themselves or even burnt the whole place down! This movie is a really bad example of parenting, children should not be made to watch it regardless if it's meant to be "family-friendly"! The setting: Even though it's meant to be set in a restaurant, the background looks like it's a café since it looks too cramped and the colours were disgusting. Seriously, they should've set this in a diner for all I care!I've seen this movie years ago and it just haunted me badly since then. This is an opportunity to share my opinion of seeing it. I extremely hate this movie, I wouldn't suggest watching and think it's great. It was overrated and stupid. This should be the top of the worst movies list since its definitely mine! Avoid and don't waste your life watching this like I did!

This movie is a series of slapstick gags mostly set within a restaurant. The first half seems quite mean-spirited and uninvolving, while the second half does capture a spirit of zaniness that makes it watchable if not very enjoyable.Margo Harshman and Michelle Brookhurst do a good job as the protagonist and antagonist and can look forward hopefully to better things. John Larraquette and Leslie Ann Warren have done better things and hopefully will look on this as the low point of their distinguished careers.I think the target audience for the film is kids 8-12 years old. They might enjoy some of it. Adults will be bored rather than amused.

This movie is on the level of a badly written sit-com. There is not one original idea in it. Every gag is telegraphed from a mile away. Every character is a cartoon cut-out and there is nothing even approaching a real performance. It's pretty clear that the actors involved knew they were turning out schlock and were only in it for a paycheck. I sat through about 30-40 minutes of this nonsense before I decided it wasn't worth any more of my time. If you are looking in your local video store for a good comedy and you happen across this wretched excuse for a movie, do yourself a favor and rent whatever's next to it. It's bound to be better.

Possibly the worst comedy that I have ever seen. I cannot even think of an age group that might enjoy this cliché-ridden garbage. I made the huge mistake of buying the DVD and I wanted to enjoy it. In the event, I never smiled once whilst watching it.If you collect all the hackneyed old scenes from every comedy film that you can think of and string them loosely together, you do not have a comedy. If you then get all of the adults to act like idiots and make the children be irritating, you still don't have a comedy. Comedy is all about comic timing. Don't expect any of that here! It pains me that in this day and age, with all the wonderful comedy of recent years, these particular film-makers appear to have learnt nothing whatsoever! Truly dire! Recipe For Disaster? It certainly is!
