      Los Angeles Times

      Has sufficient mayhem to please Diesel's action fans while allowing the star to reach out to family audiences.

      Dallas Observer

      Here's a bizarre hodgepodge of influences: "Kindergarten Cop" meets "Sound of Music," filtered through the Hulk Hogan movie "Mr. Nanny." The formula, by now so overused it's actually formless, is pure Disney

      The New York Times

      Mr. Diesel could not have succeeded as a genre-switcher without the proven television talents of the film's able ensemble.

      The Hollywood Reporter

      Vin Diesel is out of his element in this lame family comedy.
    • 40

      TV Guide Magazine

      Most of the occasional chuckles are provided by the spunky York, who really gives Diesel a run for his money.

      Chicago Tribune

      Cheerful but mind-numbing.

      ReelViews

      Offensive because it offers little more than unleavened stupidity in the place of the family-friendly action and comedy it promises.

      Washington Post

      With no real comedy to enjoy, it's torture to watch Diesel undergo a predictable change from emotionless soldier to loving family man. Makes you want to spit out your pacifier in disgust.
