Best part of story, including ending:
It's such a cheesy plot and the movie looks like most of its budget went to casting Hulk Hogan. There's still a lot of charm with the film, at least in a nostalgic sense.
Best scene in story:
When Shep helps a mime "escape" from an invisible box. The scene is sort of funny in the sense that tthe concept of a mime is so foreign and alien to Shep that he assumes that the guy really is trapped in a force field.
Opinion about the main character:
The character is such a fish out of water but still manages to relate to the family very well, overall Shep is likable. Arguably speaking, most will like Shep's character because he's Hulk Hogan.
