Adventure

When a criminal mastermind uses a trio of orphan girls as pawns for a grand scheme, he finds their love is profoundly changing him for the better.
Rated PG for rude humor and mild action

An evil mastermind adopts three little girls as part of his villainous scheme.

Disposable entertainment. It's very funny, pretty much guaranteed to get some hysterical laughter at some point. It's otherwise unremarkable and forgettable.
