Action is relatively mild for the genre and, unfortunately, so are the jokes.

Another of Hollywood's efforts to prove that the American mall mentality is at home in any corner of the globe.

It's a real riot when a guy goes tumbling and thudding down a 300-step flight of stone stairs only to climb back up and do it again. What inspired comedy!
