    Solid Kids Movie with good adult humor as well

    We had a good time watching. Didn't think I'd find myself watching the whole thing with my daughter but ended up watching it through, some really fun moments.

    Great story and unique approach

    The kids enjoy the humor and fell in love with the characters. A film that touches hearts and takes you back to a time of expression, Nintendo, baggy clothes and walkmans. Full of references from that period of time, puns and inside jokes. Recommended for any family looking for all of the above in the interest column.

    Worst kids movie

    Quite possibly one of the worst acted movies i have ever had to sit through with my kids. The acting is like a home movie and feels so wooden and does not flow at all.

    Genuinely horrible

    Turned this on listening to the other reviews and how it had such a high rating, but that's because there's so few ratings. The movie is filmed like a high school project where it was all last minute. The child actors are absolutely dreadful and dull. Any scenes that are meant to be pivotal or emotional are void due to there being no effort made by the actors or by the director. Do NOT watch. It's just bad, and not worth the waste of your life to watch

    Family movie with a heart

    Great, campy fun, with standout performances from its' child leads.
