So many movies that are panned by critics and people searching for the next Citizen Kane dont deserve their reputations.I liken it to food, if the chef set out to make Pepperoni Pizza then you have to review it as Pepperoni Pizza. If you review it as "the worst soup I ever had" then its not a bad pizza, you're a fucking idiot.

Some movies are just "good fun" they arent trying to be something they arent or break new ground in cinema. I love the White Men Cant Jump remake because its fun.
