REVIEW
As long as you don’t set the bar too high and don’t expect too much out of it, this is a pleasant outing. Given that the premise is not all that original (the godparents of a one-year-old are put in a position of having to take care of her) there’s a sense of déjà vu with predictable results. The sight gags and one-liners provide some amusing moments and the romantic element plays out as it should.

Certainly not the best movie ever but it’s not that difficult to sit through despite being a tad too long.

CLASSIFICATION
for sexual material, language and some drug content.
