An absolute waste of time
My six year old son chose this at the local rental place, presumably because of the glitzy packaging. We had no preconceived notions - we had never heard of this movie, nor any of the actors.
The acting, "special effects", production quality, and the plot itself were just plain awful. I don't think I've ever seen a worse movie, ever. I should have been leery upon noticing the leading actress in this kid's movie was a B-rate soft-core porn star.
After 15 minutes, I couldn't take any more, and left the room, although I did not comment to my child so as not to influence his judgement.
After about 30 minutes, my two year old son, who was also watching, lost all interest, and joined me in watching something else in another room. My wife and six year old watched the entire show.
The eye-rolling looks from my wife during the brief time I could stomach the movie was more than ample evidence that she did not enjoy the movie either.
When questioned about his reaction to the movie, he told me he wished he'd chosen a different movie, as this one was "not very good". This is coming from a boy whose favorite movie is "Sharkboy and Lavagirl" - not exactly a movie connoisseur yet.
Don't waste your time - skip the rental. Heck, even skip the TV repeat, if it would ever be so lucky as to be shown.
