★★★ · Happy reunion with a dull result · Spuzz · 2012-11-01

Bob and Don Donnell (you can't forget names that easily) reunite with Mother Mack minus her puppies as they go across a harbor exploring the ships, bridges and other stuff in the harbor. Not much in terms of excitement, despite the strong cast. I mean, if you've seen one ferry, you've seen them all.
