Charlie and Dan have been best friends and business partners for thirty years; their Manhattan public relations firm is on the verge of a huge business deal with a Japanese company. With two weeks to sew up the contract, Dan gets a surprise: a woman he married on a drunken impulse nearly nine years before (annulled the next day) shows up to tell him he's the father of her twins, now seven, and she'll be in jail for 14 days for a political protest. Dan volunteers to keep the tykes, although he's up tight and clueless. With Charlie's help is there any way they can be dad and uncle, meet the kids' expectations, and still land the account?

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Seth Green should have gotten a bigger role, it would have made this a must see comedy. As it is it has a great cast, some FX AND you may not laugh a lot but you could end up looking like you're really happy about it. This is worth seeing but I can only watch it every 5 - 7 years. One scene does not a movie make. That and after 40 years I think Travolta fatigue is setting in.

Robin Williams and John Travolta are both legends of the silver screen so it is such a shame to see them turn up in this pretty poor Disney family comedy.The premise is borrowed a lot from 'Three Men and a Baby' but this film can't claim to be as a smart or as funny as that film. Too often the stars are reduced to doing ridiculous things in order to score a cheap laugh, and the attempts at sentiment are wasted because we just don't care enough about the main characters in order to do so.I tried to like this film, I tried to stick with it, but even my admiration for the two stars couldn't maintain my interest.

I had a good time and that's really all that counts. Yes, it's silly, and yes, it's really for kids, and not really clean enough for kids, but not bad.Robin Williams isn't doing his best work here, but he impresses in some quiet, more serious scenes. He's good enough where he's funny.John Travolta doesn't exactly show why he's one of the greats, but he is convincing as a successful businessman.The guys have quite a mess to clean up in their business, and that's fun to watch.The scenes where Charlie and Dan took the wrong drugs have enjoyable visual effects and hilarious pratfalls.Lori Loughlin looks great, and she's quite professional as the translator.Bernie Mac does a good job too. I don't share Jimmy Lunchbox's musical taste, but the song was pretty good.Sab Shimono does his usual fine work.The music is mostly my taste. For once, a Disney family comedy has music geared toward the parents, not the kids.If I have any criticism, it's that the zoo scenes didn't last longer. Shortly before the movie started, we were told what the movie would be about, and it appeared mostly about sneaking into the zoo. That looked really funny, but we saw the best parts.Not Disney's best work, but overall, I had a good time.

This is one of the WORST films I've ever seen. They "jump the shark" IN EVERY SCENE. Just goes to show that even an all-star cast cannot save a bad script. And it truly is an all-star with Travolta, Robin Williams, Bernie Mack, Rita Wilson, Seth Green, Ann-Margaret, etc. There are so many other family films starring Travolta alone that are better. All the gags they did in the film were cliché and over done. I never thought I'd say this but Robin Williams was terrible. Travolta was blah-never thought I'd say that either. Bernie Mack was so miss-used that you didn't laugh at a single thing he did on screen. And the kids in the film were not cute or lovable enough. Don't waste your time or money on this.
