after reading a handful of reviews on this site...

I can't believe people are saying this was very funny and they laughed out loud. I found it to be terrible; it never made me laugh. It was beyond stupid. It may have been worse than Joe Dirt. I gave it a 2 instead of a 1 only because this wasn't one of the worst movies I've seen. It's just plain bad. Luckily, I saw it on cable and didn't pay to rent it.

In this one, David Spade plays a washed up child actor who hears about this great part. He meets with the director Rob Reiner and Rob tells him he needs to learn to act like a real person in order to get the part. So Dickie hires a normal family and lives with them. He mainly hangs out with the two kids, which is creepy itself. But is also shown being pushed in a stroller by the hot mom. There are many cameos by other child stars, but that's not funny.

FINAL VERDICT: I think maybe some pre-teens might like it since that age group often supports movies with bad plots, but if you are over 13, do not watch this.
