It doesn't have the feel of a feature film. It's boring, unfunny, stretched out cheese.

Well, according to The Animal?s director, it?s a bunch of obvious jokes, a predictable ending, a sexy lady and a dorky hero who manages to be loveable and appeal to the hot lady for no reason at all. This director does not really understand a recipe for a great Rob Schneider comedy. This movie is simply a replay of all the bad ?dumb-fun? comedies from the past few years with a few more lame jokes added in and a terrible ending. Disappointingly, seeing Schneider jump around like a monkey, swim like a dolphin and leap like a leopard didn?t interest me, despite all the similes it can produce.

This is just one big sucky movie that I can?t recommend even for teenagers and people who don?t look for quality in a film and just want brainless entertainment, you might like it.

Even though Rob Schnider does great jobs for Adam Sandler Movies, he doesn't do it in his own movies.
