Rated PG for thematic elementsUser review:OK, my wife rented this off-the-shelf, thinking it would be a cute “family” movie, so we were forced to buy pizza and sit through it with our kids (9 & 5). In a nutshell, the kids loved it, although my 5 year old thought parts of it were a bit “scary”, and didn’t want to sit through it. For my wife and I, however, it was definitely a tremendous groaner…The biggest plus was the fact that it was SOOOO bad that we actually laughed at how bad it was! This was one of those “I’m too drunk to go to sleep…what’s on TV?” B-movies from the old USA Network “Up All Night” series (if you remember those).There were parts of it that actually reminded us of the old “Little Rascals” shows, where the kids—and their so-obviously-memorized scripts—were almost like puppets. The super-fast-motion scenes to speed things up were good for a chuckle.Rent this for your kids to enjoy, but don’t dare watch it yourself unless you want to bang your head afterwards for wasting this much time.
