NO idea why this is tagged Musical, unless they were saying some dialog that rhymed or to the beat while music played?
The primary entertainment value here was trying to figure out 1) why it's a "musical" and 2) who is the audience? This doesn't get sufficiently vulgar that I'd say it's adults only, but I sure wouldn't want to encourage small children to see how bratty the kids in the film are, nor does this seem interesting enough for teens. Maybe IMDb users agree; they give it 5.7 with 4.2k+ votes. This is a mediocre bratty-kid sitcom animated to make the brattiness more extreme (note the rollercoaster on the poster.)
The synopsis writer omitted that the man is on a first date, which was supposed to be with the woman and her son, but she brought along 3 kids not her own, and they're going to an expensive amusement park that's not terribly nearby.
The film was a bit confusing to start, because it's live action of the originator doing his stand-up routine about the title. I wonder if people in theatres wondered if they'd sat down in the wrong place.
I can't think of any reason to watch it again.
