It's hard to separate this film from it's predecessors. It feels like Hollywood Execs we're just trying to cash in on some nostalgia. We're talking about trying to capture the essence of classic comedy films. It sucks because I truly do like all the actors involved in this film, but still... However it did have some redeeming factors and good jokes in an attempt to do its own thing, but not really. It's time to stop trying to redo classic comedy films.

Okay, a remake is almost always going to pale in comparison to the original and this remake is no different. However, the filmmakers created an unofficial star with the vehicle. The Family Truckster of the original was funny, but only as a prop, but the erstwhile Tartan Prancer from Albania is the most awesome piece of fictional automotive film history I've ever seen. It IS the star of the film, hands down. If you are wavering on watching this film, watch it once just for this mini-van, I implore you. I gotta get me that GPS. Many individual scenes of the movie are not bad, mind you and Ed Helms and Christina Applegate were well-cast. But overall, the movie didn't work. The few high points were offset with many low points. The good jokes are very good but many others don't hit their mark.Watch it for the mini-van!

I'd admit they're some scenes that are funny but the story is not even good. I'm not saying this is the Fant4stic of comedy movies but it's just any bad film. I did see this in theaters and I was disappointed like this is one of the first movie I've seen in theater that I don't like. Some of the characters are undeveloped and some of the acting is poor. I don't hate the film is just I don't like the movie like improve the story.Score: 4.5/10

This movie was absolutely hilarious. It wasn't a redo, it did give some nods to the originals but was its own movie on its own. Just a great movie to sit back relax and laugh. For those of you that are slamming it in reviews, you're just straight up trolling, this is one of the best comedies to come out for a while!
