An 11 year old boy (whose mother recently past away) doesnt desire to play with anything anymore UNTIL that day he meets a funny employee of his rich father's business. Now he DEMANDS this employee to become his fulltime TOY. How will this turn out?
The good; the dialogues are natural, the timing of the jokes is good, the acting by the 2 leading grownup actors is solid.
The bad: this comedy lasts way too long. The middle part is stretching my patience. Perhaps kids wouldnt mind that it lasts too long, but on the other hand perhaps kids would mind even more than grownups that this comedy is long in the tooth, almost clocking 2 hours! Half an hour could have been easily cut out of it.
More bad: the kid actor is lacking in charisma. That's a bit of a bummer, because the kid actor is one of the 2 most important characters.
Even more bad: this is not a laugh out loud comedy. Merely an amusing, gentle story, with a few good jokes in between. Not bad, not great either...
