    My 7 year old daughter thought it was awesome never took her eyes off the sreen.

  • Oh No!

    Such a disappointment!

    by jesbalascio

    This movie is so poorly written, acted, and directed, I can think of nothing positive to say about it.

    My son (who is 6) didn't like it despite the overuse of flatulence and references to 'boogers' and such.

    I am totally disappointed, out $40 for the adventure, and will never get that 90 minutes of my life back.

    I am telling you, this one isn't even worth renting.

  • So-so

    Shorts a winner?!

    by Daddy Cakes

    After viewing the movie with my 8 year old son... I turn my head and asked him if he enjoyed the movie. His answer quite surprised me! He actually liked it!

    The movie may be a bit too weird for adults.
