The doting-mother jokes are all familiar, but rendered with an earnest quality, as though a parent-offspring mediation group is to convene after the film ends.

Gag. Stallone's character should have been shot by overbearing Getty Mom.

Most of the blame for this unimaginative effort can be attributed to the script, but Spottiswoode's flat direction doesn't help.

Sly is well meaning but just misses the mark.

Sometimes, you just have to sit back and wonder what Stallone was thinking.

If your idea of fun is seeing Sylvester Stallone in a diaper, his latest film should send you into fits of ecstasy.

Spottiswoode directs action well but at about 90 minutes, this film is about 60 minutes longer than its material.
