The Irwin's were not made aware of the script ahead of time - and for good reason. If they'd seen what was supposedly going on around them, they probably would have balked.
Having said that, I'll echo what most everyone else is saying. If you've seen them on TV and liked them, you'll get more of the same here. As a matter of fact, I thought their performance was about the only redeeming feature of the film. A couple of adult-sized laughs, and a lot of "geez that was close" moments make it worth your matinee money. But if I'd known about the weak story and wooden supporting cast, I probably would've waited until the matinee myself.
I'm giving it a generous 6 out of 10. It might have made an 8 without all the non-Irwin parts.
