Patrulha das Almas

Though not as good as the Halloweentown movies this was a decent shot at a Disney Halloween movie for the under 12 crowd. Granted the special effects were not big budget it was just creepy enough and funny enough to keep a child entertained for an hour and a half and hey, when you are a tired parent that is really all you want. I happen to like the girl who played Claire by the way.

This movie is good for what it is- a kid's Halloween film. The child actors are acceptable and the adults seem to be having fun with their roles. As always, Eric Idle (Coffin Ed) is a joy to watch, and he gets all the good lines. The CGI isn't too impressive but the kids won't mind. It's not terribly scary but I wouldn't let the under six set watch by themselves. Fortunately, it's a movie that won't have adults tearing their hair out waiting for it to be over. Is it memorable? No, but it's a good ninety minutes of diversion. Grown-up fans of the adult actors might enjoy it more.

My kids, ages 6 and 3, found this movie to be very amusing and just a little bit on the scary side. I found it witty and Kathy Najimi was really pretty cute in this part. And Jumper was a hoot! I do wish that Disney was still airing it during the year, especially in October at Halloween time, since the movie is set at Halloween. I had taped it when it was on at one time, but the tape is pretty much worn out now. It would be nice to find a DVD or VCR tape to purchase or rent for the kids. It would make a great Halloween family video for those that don't go out Trick or Treating. All in all, I found it worth the watch and so did my boys.

I may be the only Eric Idle fan who says this but he was fantastic in this movie! It's one of those movies when you really think....about ghosts I mean. Probably the best Disney movie they can make...I mean COME ON PEOPLE! ERIC IDLE'S IN THIS MOVIE! IT HAS TO BE FABULOUS! ^_^ And it is fabulous!

This is an excellent family movie it is well worth your time. Unless you are looking for lots of blood, guts, gore and scantily clad teeny boppers then you'll hate it. Kat Dennings is great as Claire, in spite of the hair and costume, and Mark Rendall is just as good as her brother Ian. Gather the kids pop the corn sit back and be entertained.
