A Dysfunctional Family of Five Reviews...Mr. 3000!

Bernie Mac gets his first starring role as Barry Bonds with a sense of humor, fewer chemicals and a happy ending. No, not the massage kind. What? We gave away the ending? Oh please, don't tell me you really thought he wouldn't get those three hits back, did you?

Dad: This is what's wrong with America! First these newspaper yokels start adding the yob's comma, and now they drop them from numbers! It's "3,000" for Mel's sake!

Mom: Shouldn't there be a comma after the last zero in that, Mr. Yob? Let's not get our punctuation panties in a twist there, Aldus Manutius.

Sis: Does anyone even USE that punk-chew-ay-stuff anymore? I don't think I've ever texted or IM'd one of those thingies. Even my periods only come four times a year now.

Bro: If I were the kid he took the ball from in the movie, I'd do my psycho zombie attack and tear his nads off. Then I'd hold the bloody goods up for all to see! That'd teach him a lesson.

Baby: This is what happens when you shoehorn an amazing talent into a role that doesn't quite fit. Bernie Mac is funny and fearless, no doubt. Maybe it's this whole "object permanence" thing I've got going on now, but it just seemed predictable to me.

Verdict: Much as we love the Mac, it's more of a rental.
