Clubhouse Detectives

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.

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.

"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 saw this movie when I was 6 or 7 years old, I loved it! It used to be on TV quite a lot but then after a year or two it was no longer on and I completely forgot about it until a year ago. I could not remember the cast or the title only the plot, which is the most annoying thing! After five months of rattling my brain, looking on the internet and IMDb, finally I found it and I bought it straight away.

Billy witnesses a crime, but no-one believes him apart from his friends and younger brother. So they themselves take on the challenge to solve the mystery and uncover the suspect's true intentions.

Now I am 16 and I have only had "Clubhouse Detectives" for a few months but I cannot stop watching it. Even if I tried I could not hate this film. If you like kid's adventures: The Goonies etc. Then you will surely love this as well.

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!!
