Movie information in first post provided by The Movie Database
Actually, it is quite entertaining to see Robin Williams at what he is good at. He’s funny acting and in this movie, it was built on children’s feelings. Yes it was fun to see a younger Jennifer Lopez and it was kind of fun to also see Bill Cosby did a wonderful job. He is undoubtedly a great and talented actor. Robin Williams agreed to become a child in this film and it was adorable movie.

But there are some drawbacks in the film. Playing a 10 year old child seem not to be suitable for him as he very often loses his direction by switches from comedy to tragedy and silly jokes. Even at that, there are still some moments when one can hardly believe that Williams is only ten years old when he looks like an adult.
