As Aventuras do Menino Gênio

For a certain middle grade demographic, this is the rare movie that really speaks to their age category and relates to some of the issues they're going through right now. The 11 year old girls I saw it with were bouncing off the walls excited after we saw it.

For adults, there's a lot of fun to be had with Nora Dunn's character, and Rita Wilson is the most fun I've ever seen her. She even does a funny rap parody of one of my favorite songs from my own youth-- and she really puts her back into it!

It's a fun film for the whole family.

This movie is a charmer. Funny, smart and endearing-a film that you can play for the whole family. The story is about an engaging 12 year old boy genius named Emmett who must help solve a mystery at his school to help his brother. But more than that it is a joyous window into the life of Emmett. Lots of great themes of friendship and family are included in this wistful and fanciful gem!

A true delight of a film. Silly, sweet, and moving, with an absolutely exuberant lead performance from Miles Brown. The cast is terrific across-the-board, with especially wonderful turns from Tracie Thoms, Skylan Brooks, Rita Wilson, Nora Dunn, and Ravi Patel (hilarious every moment he was onscreen).

This was such a sweet movie. Really well-made and the kind of film you finish feeling really good about the world. Miles Brown is definitely a star-on-the-rise, and great chemistry between him and Rita Wilson. This is the kind of film you could watch with the family and know that everyone will enjoy.

A twelve year-old child prodigy Emmett (Miles Brown) teams up with a quirky retiree to solve a crime and save his family from splitting up. A 12-year-old child prodigy teams up with a retired eccentric to solve a crime and save his family from falling apart. Very cute, valid and necessary... Direction Bridget Stokes...

Those teenage Disney films, almost childish, and silly, but cute at the same time, exaggerated, the brothers' relationship is very cute, won my heart... see deep-rooted structural racism... Many layers that can be analyzed within varied and dramatic contexts... Very cute, valid and necessary...
