What to know

critics consensus

A great concept, but the movie fails to develop the characters and some of the jokes are hit-or-miss. Read critic reviews

    Used to love this when I was a kid it seems silly now but I still find it pretty fun and a good time waster.

    Cheesy and a waste of talent

    The film's concept is quite interesting and Im sure a lot of people would have loved the idea of it. But the film itself is a complete mess. The jokes aren't that great and are rather hit and miss for all the family including the children. There's no development into the character of both the humans and the pet animals.
