NEEDS EDITING - My guess is that the target for this movie was the tween set. Unfortunately some of the subject matter and language are too salty for this age, and the storyline is not developed enough for an older audience. It is a shame - some of the goofy humor is very funny and does show promise. This film could have been saved with a little careful editing.

This movie was bizarre. Nothing made sense. It skipped around, and you had no idea why things happened or were said. Staring king of the B-movie actors Billy Zane, I couldnt help wonder if they knew what kind of mess of a movie they were making, or they did it simply because it was green lighted by a non caring film company and it put change in their pockets. Billy Zane should have had a nice bounce from Titanic but the poor guy couldnt capitalize on the #1 grossing film of all times...he must be blacked balled in Hollywood, no one has that kind of luck,,,,even the film grip from Titanic got a bump from the movie and went on to a great career in films.....not so for Zane,,, he still making dribble like this.

the father is a bottom of the barrel attempt at Fred McMurry's," My Three Sons", but it's the daughter's disparaging attitude and the mermaid's hoity-toity air-headedness that really pushed the movie to the bottom feeders arena
