Who decided Sinbad needed to star in a movie and what should we do to them when we find out?

Tedious and unfocused...the contrivance in this forgettable comedy is inexplicably unbearable

Turns out to be an inane fish-out-of-water comedy. Along the way it turns into a virtual McDonald's commercial, too. The fact that you can hardly tell the difference is a good clue to the movie's bad-television flavor.

A film that lacks solid construction from the ground up, something that can't be “fixed in the editing,” I'm afraid.
