"This relies way too much on characterization alone, but the characters are not as charming or funny as the director seemed to think, and they're certainly not enough to carry a viewer through without an engaging story. Even so, other characters, such as the girls, remain completely under-developed except for the shallowest descriptors (the yeller, the gamer, the homeworker). Their relationship with their Manny was never explored either. When so many things get pushed away to the subtext, you start wondering whether it is even a subtext thing or just lack of cinematic rigor. The whole film..."
