Clubhouse Detectives

trust me i am a kid, and i have 3 brothers and 3 sisters that watched the movie with me and we all loved it!!

This video is a great movie for kids probably ages 7 and up. The plot makes it scary for many children younger than that. Billy (Michael Galeota, now most famous for Disney Channel's "The Jersey") witnesses a neighbor commiting murder. Unable to make his mother believe him, Billy, his little brother, Kade (played by Michael Galeota's real life brother, Jimmy) and their friends set out to prove what really happened.

Yeah there's murdering in it, but as a kid in the 90s, that kind of horror in movies was normal, people grow to be way too sensitive nowadays, I still think it was a great movie!

"Clubhouse Detectives" is boring, pointless, and way too mature for kids. It makes them all excited then scares them with murder scenes and suspense. Why target young children with this type of film? Suspense is okay, but a women being strangled and kids threatening a man with baseball bats isn't exactly the happy suspense that kids are looking for.

I first saw this when I was 11 and even though I am now 18, this has remained my favorite. Why? Well, even though it is an independent film I thought the plot line was good and the kids didn't act as badly as one would expect. There were moments, for sure, but overall the acting was good. If you thought about certain scenes too deeply the effect was ruined, but that goes for any movie. This is for ages 12 and up and although they repeated a certain word more than 20 times during the movie, it wasn't as cheesy as kid movies today are. The added bonus was that there were no "adolecent romances," which would have ruined the charm.
