DVD Review: Mr. Troop Mom - Page 2

Special features for Mr. Troop Mom consist of a few additional scenes, several featurettes (“George Goes To Camp,” “Naomi’s Journal,” “Killer Bees Vs. Wasps,” and “Rockin’ The Bonfire” – the latter also features that Fully-Clothed Siblings Band), and a gag reel.  All of the aforementioned bonus materials are presented in non-anamorphic widescreen.  There are also a couple of trailers/promos for other Warner titles that play automatically when the disc boots up (one of which is the new Harry Potter flick in case you're interested). The DVD also includes a code to unlock and download a digital copy of the movie for your Windows-based computer (which I still say is legal piracy). The Blu-ray release is actually a BD/DVD combo pack, FYI.

In its defense, Mr. Troop Mom does benefit from George Lopez’ own unique humor. Lopez, (who also produced with his wife Ann) manages to make this otherwise run-of-the-mill and dull tween comedy bearable for the parental crowd, but not by much. Plus, it’s a Nickelodeon film and not a Disney film, so there’s more of a message than just “Hey, buy our overpriced Disney products.”

You gotta love Nickelodeon movies for that alone.
