Quite how we're expected to swallow the idea that a collection of eminent anthropologists would be fooled by Richard Dreyfuss' wife and kids running around a middle american suburb in grass skirts is beyond me, but he's his usual likeable self in an inconsequential but inoffensive family comedy.

Not a terrible comedy. It has a couple of really funny moments and not much else. Pretty bland and mediocre, for the most part.
