It's all about these fathers and how crazy they are.

Typical for this type of family-skewing comedy, performances vacillate between engagingly broad and annoyingly overstated.

Crammed with charmless characters and/or hammy performances.

Down and Derby is amusing enough to make a bit of money at the box office and become a shelf-stable DVD for years to come.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 15, 2005

The cartoonish movie might have made for a funny half-hour short or sitcom pilot but runs out of track well before its conclusion.

Like a snow cone with no syrup, Down and Derby leaves us high and dry in the moral-of-the-story department.

It should be required viewing for moms and dads tempted to write their children's essays, create Power Point presentations for their science projects and build their Pinewood Derby cars.

| Original Score: B- | Apr 14, 2005

Down and Derby is a benign but good-hearted family comedy that offers a gender-switch on stage moms: derby dads.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 14, 2005

An amiable, albeit somewhat lame family film.
