I am not a lover of comedies, however this is one of those exceptions.
What can I say? The title says it all. Tim Allen is brilliant (as usual), and Kirstie Alley is great as his support. The movie does not knock the Amish people too much, and the movie ends with everyone living happily ever after - even 'Big John'.
I thought the deleted scenes/bloopers i the closing credits was a great idea too.
