I thought the title was a typo, but then I realized that it was a welcome to meet the Riley family, not to enter their home.  Jake Scott directed.

Not only is this a Simpson-Bruckheimer movie about the military, but characters' obnoxiousness is presented as wit.  Still, it wasn't racist or violent (just sexist) in the first quarter hour.  Tony Scott directed.

This is the fourth Gene Hackman film I've rejected, and with each one I thank God that Robert Reed snagged the Mike Brady role.
