I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

It is a performances centric movie

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This isn't brain surgery, but it was really fun to watch with my family on Amazon. We thought the cast was really good and it seems everyone is in this movie. Stupid, silly, clever and laughing out loud a few times. Eva Mendez is great. Scarlett Johannson is really spot on too. The pig is cute and my girls loved the kid playing the smart kid. All and all a really fun movie for a Saturday night at home. A popcorn family movie. This is one we will watch again. The ending looks a little low budget but the rest looks good! What ever happened to Judge Reinhold?My kids wanted to watch it right away, but that's what they like. There's a part in the movie where the main girl changes her approach and my kids really felt good about here from that moment on.

Reviewed September 6th, 2015 - 1st viewing (Premium HD) Deciding to watch this film solely because Scarlett Johansson is in it, I did not expect much, and despite its fundamental flaws and childish script, it does have its moments.The plot is simple enough, with a 15-year-old Scarlett playing Kathy, the older sister to her annoying brother George. Scarlett does a great job fleshing her out as the bratty teen sister instigating her brother to get into trouble. When their parents go to France for a vacation, the nanny Matilda is left to babysit Kathy and George. It is never really made clear as to why Kathy is so resentful of their nanny (played by Eva Mendes) other than the fact that she's happy all the time.The score is garish with loud, overpowering pieces that will make you plug your ears or fast forward. The screenplay seems to be written half by a child, and half by an underwhelmed adult, fluctuating between predictable and cheesy. There is a heart at its core, and it does have its moments of lucidity. Freud (Alex D. Linz), George's best friend, adds some levity to the idiosyncrasies. While lacking in development, you are shown briefly that Kathy is an outcast, ostracized by classmates with little to no friends, so her brother's antics would only serve to fuel her anger more.When Matilda's crystals turn George into a pig and they have to go on a road trip to visit Matilda's aunt in Mexico, Kathy has an outburst that made me cringe (well done by a young Scarlett—you really believe she's that venomous). However as she explores the town to get away and befriends two young Mexican girls who idolize her, it's refreshing to see her open up when she feels accepted and highly regarded.She comes back to center and saves the day in time with the ridiculous antagonist of a local butcher chasing them after they have to free George from his stable. If possible, the end gets a little more ridiculous with them getting home in time to wash the car when they were only about 2 minutes ahead of their parents. The film certainly could have done a much better job exploring Kathy's feelings of inadequacy and isolation, instead pandering to a younger audience.FINAL VERDICT: Despite the silly premise, it did have its moments, particularly allowing Scarlett to shine in some scenes. However overall a missed opportunity to explore the older sibling's struggle to redefine their role in the family and maintain a healthy relationship with their parents.4.0 of 10.0

Caught this on Showtime last month.. with kids, 8, 9, 13. They wanted to save it on our DVR so it must be good. I enjoyed watching it more than most crud that the kids make me watch (over the hedge, firehouse dog, Barbie movie) and the cast was like a whose who of Hollywood. Fun comedy, good animals and original. Good family flick. It's not going to change the world, but it's solid family entertainment that I could watch also. There's also a kid (Disney kid?) that is the smart kid that is really likable. Eva Mendes is fun, and sexy, also. Scarlett looks just the same as an adult. They are showing it daily it seems. Catch it.

OK-- so rented this because my son loves pigs and I love Eva Mendes, and I have to tell you I actually enjoyed it with my kids and laughed (out loud) twice and that's a lot for me.This movie is a surprise and a lot better then many films that I've rented with my kids (and I've seen them all). Does anyone know if this was in the theaters--it looks feature budget and score is great.Rent it and be surprised--not you usually stupid family fare. There are some lines that are very adult, but they went over my kids' heads and I laughed out loud. Scarlett Johannssen rocks too in this film and looks amazing!
