But, even though some of his annoying type of humor permeated the film (his cell phone ring tone being one of the bits that I relate to finger nails on a chalkboard), so did some very touching moments. The kids were adorable as was Keri Russell. Jonathan Pryce was a nice surprise as the narrator/father, though I wasn't sure if he was alive or dead until about 1/2 way through the film. If he was supposed to be dead, why was he narrating? Weird, in my opinion. The fantasy scenes were quite funny. But, the overall plot was very weak. Still, my son left the theatre laughing, and so did I and my wife. Not Disney's best by a long shot, but an enjoyable 'family' film from a not so 'family' star. My son summed it up best saying that he would have rather seen Jim Carrey in the role instead of "that annoying guy"! Worth a bargain matinee viewing or a rent on DVD when it comes out. C-

Originally Posted By brotherdave Bugsy, the guinea pig, was possibly the best part of the movie. The huge eyes were just a cute, running gag throughout the movie. Just like in Bolt with Rhino the hamster, the pet rodent steals the show. I guess Disney knows a little something about rodents....

Originally Posted By basil fan I just saw this; thought it was okay, until Adam Sandler came on screen. He spoiled every scene he was in. I just can't warm up to his style of delivery, be it funny or serious. No offense, but I found the guinea pig eyes just plain dumb. The plot, I liked, and many of the actors, except for you-know-who. The climax seemed forced, though. Beyond Experiment 626 <a href="http://www.whatsitsgalore.com/disney/stitch.html" target="_blank">http://www.whatsitsgalore.com/...tch.html</a>
