Technically, a child abduction movie but as Disney is the producer the abduction is done for laughs. You see the abductor is an alien spaceship that sounds an awful lot like Pee Wee Herman.

It’s not a sequel. It’s not a remake. It’s simply another Bad Lieutenant but this time he’s in New Orleans and he is Nicolas Cage.
