I liked this movie very much. Was it an award winning movie? No of course not. It was a very sweet nice movie designed to make you smile and just feel good for a couple of hours. Well mission accomplished. It was a very different kind of movie for David Hasselhoff and I think he pulled it off quite nicely. All in all a very decent film. I highly recommend it.

I consider myself to be an open minded guy. I see reviews of a movie and they have zero impact one way or the other on my desire or lack thereof to see the film. I see wonderful great reviews and if I was planning to watch the movie anyway then I want to see it more to see if it is as good as they say. Likewise if it has bad reviews I want to see it more to see if it really is that bad in either case the answer is no its neither as good or as bad as they say. This movie however was just AWFUL. No body it seemed wanted to be there. It was as if everyone really needed the money or lost a bet. It made no sense what so ever. The only real positive thing I can say about it is that it was better than Bangkok Dangerous and believe me that's not a hard thing to accomplish.

OK this movie didn't even come close to the original not by a long shot. The casting for the most part was decent except for Abigail Breslin as Baby. I kept hoping she would get hit by a car at some point. They added story lines where they didn't need them. They succeeded in some aspects the movie did turn out to be far better than expected. Where they failed and failed miserably is they tried to BE the original almost kept the entire script word for word except where they added new material. The guy playing Johnny delivered the key line "Nobody puts Baby in the corner." with about as much enthusiasm as a corpse. Would I watch it again? Probably but only if I had nothing better to do.
