I really wanted to like this movie. The cast is awesome. I watched it once with my daughter and again with my wife.
Unfortunately, it's just boring. I don't know if it's the insipid muzak soundtrack or something else. My daughter felt the same way, but at least we got all the way through it. My wife, on the other hand, simply said it was boring and stopped half way through.
So it's not just me being male. Finding this movie tedious was gender-neutral at our house.
