If you liked "Goonies," "A Series of Unfortunate Events," or the original "Jumanji" then you'll love this clean, kid-centric film. The plot isn't complex but it will keep you and your children engaged. It's refreshing to have something I can enjoy watching with the entire family. Both kids, Jensen Gering and Catherine White, deliver outstanding performances. The villain is over-the-top in an almost Power Rangers style and he left us smiling. This is an adventure with a reasonable amount of comedy and a smidgen of suspense mixed in. I'd highly recommend this for an evening of family entertainment.

Ignore the comments made by teen boys about this movie, this movie is not for them. It was made for a family audience and is a wonderful story about friendship filled with lots of mystery and adventure that kids from 5-12 will really enjoy. Young Elliott moves with his mom, Denise Richards, to a new small town. There he meets the mysterious Willow a self professed witch and town outcast. Together they go on a fun adventure to save the town from a witches curse. It's a great movie to watch in late Fall as the Fall colours are really beautiful, and lend to the spirit of Halloween. The kids are really great in this film, our kids really enjoyed watching them. The bad guy Mr. Hexenmeister is also very well played. We highly recommend this movie for your entire family.

I enjoyed this film, mostly for the performances of the younger members of the cast, who out-acted the adults without exception. It's always good to see young talent coming through, and I'll be watching out for them in the future.

The film was a fun, rainy afternoon movie for all the family and it had a clear story and plot.

The adults in the cast could learn a thing or two from the kids, who demonstrated their ability to cope with both the humorous and dramatic parts of their roles. Most of the adults' performances were somewhat wooden, so the kids were giving them an acting master class throughout.

I came across streaming for free and I thought of

Giving it a chance. It was entertaining and the two

Kids playing their roles were great. It was great

Seeing Denise Richards in this movie. I think

She looked great and she had a very nice role.

The movie is obviously intended for children.

It has a great storyline and a cute doggy as past of

their cast. So if you like fantasy movies involving

Kids, then I think it's a great movie. Cute storyline.

I really enjoyed it and I would love to see the

Sequel. There seems to be a sequel to this first

Installment. All in all, a very nice family movie.

Our entire family really enjoyed this terrific adventure story. Such superb acting from two young performers, especially the girl, what a hoot she was. I expect we'll be seeing more from her in the future. This is a great story filled with twists and turns as two bright kids work together to unravel a deeply held town secret and save it from destruction. Lot's of great locations and well done visual effects make this film a real feast for the viewer. Denise Richards is as beautiful as ever as the mom and investigative journalist. This is a very well written and intelligent script, filled with a lot of laughs. We loved the dog, hilarious!
