Sorry but the bad reviews have it wrong. For a TV movie for Disney this is excellent - it contains just about every dream about finding a space ship and being changed into a super being that you could wish for.

Honestly, as an adult I sit through a lot of nonsense because the kids wants to watch, but we all really enjoyed this: exciting and just scary enough, and the dodge ball scene was ever underdogs dream.

I would, as a parent, recommend this one. It makes a refreshing change to see some a good storyline and we liked it from beginning to end.

Best geared for the tweenies I would say, and if they like sci-fi then this is going to fit the bill.

Tyler and his brother find an alien ship which makes Tyler appear older and gives him other abilities. This turns his high school life upside down, and may enable him to help his older brother's love life. After he is abducted by beings who intend to take over Earth, he must depend on his inept and loving brother to rescue him.

Cute, those clueless, totally exaggerated, absurdly weird films, which I, in my infinite childishness, love to love, from the heart, fun, cliché, predictable, and the disgusting, gelatinous, and horrifying little monsters, but not so much, are cute. .. I liked... Very good...

I didn't expect much and I was still disappointed. Imagine a duo of dorky brothers accidentally getting their hands on an alien spaceship that they can control with their mind, that changes them into superheroes and that in the end save the world and get the girls. Not a big stretch of the imagination, is it?

But that is not the worst part. The girls were not worth getting, the aliens were pathetic, the high-school bully looked like he just got there from a musical and the acting... I couldn't find any. In the end this is one giant mindless movie, made for the sole purpose of getting money from prepubescent teens who go to movies because they have parents at home.

I watched this movie based on a positive review on this site. What a mistake that was.

The cheesy acting is layered thick on top of an empty storyline, which is why I gave this movie 3 out of 10.

The main characters seem to have no purpose whatsoever. They just happen to be "there" and we are forced to watch their uninteresting "adventures" with an alien object they discover by mistake.

I still don't know what direction the movie was supposed to take. It seems like the director couldn't decide between finding an alien object or teenagers chasing girlfriends. It ended up being a sloppy mix of the two.

Furthermore, the pacing is horrible the movie starts out fast and then dulls down to the point where you don't even feel like watching it anymore.

Disney should look into how Pixar is making movies, because The Incredibles was just about 100 times better than this awful monstrosity.

I thought the film was ok at best. I am a big Disney fan, but this one was just ok. It definitely could have been better. The story is centered around two teenage brothers who are out having fun and they encounter a space alien and their space ship. It's fun because the teens are the only ones that know it exists, but the two teenagers are out having fun. Until people do discover something is odd in the two and they are having issues with weather and other issues that people in the town find to be quite odd. This is a fun film overall to watch once with the kids. I would recommend this if you love a decent Disney movie.
