My Take
Raja Gosnell is one of those directors whose name you may not know while his films practically raised a generation. Born in Los Angeles in 1958, he came up as an editor before moving to the chair, and you can feel that pedigree in the brisk timing of Home Alone 3, Never Been Kissed, Big Momma's House, the Scooby-Doo movies and the live-action Smurfs. Critics rarely garland this kind of work, but making something a kid and a parent can laugh at on the same couch is genuinely hard. I have a soft spot for craftsmen who reliably deliver weekend comfort.
