Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

A surprisingly entertaining movie -- one of those good-hearted comedies like "Spy Kids" where reality is put on hold while bright teenagers outsmart the best and worst the adult world has to offer. It's ideal for younger kids, and not painful for their parents. Read full review

Ellen A. Kim

The film gets snaps just by attempting the high road, and should be enjoyed by its target audience. Read full review

Robert K. Elder

Plays so flat, so to close its "movie message" formula, that it seems as if we've seen this movie before. Read full review

Kimberley Jones

The movie scores some laughs, all of which come from the expert Giamatti. Read full review

Lawrence Toppman

What starts as a cute premise crashes faster than a skateboard with an oak branch shoved between its wheels. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

How appealing is Muniz, taking a break from ''Malcolm in the Middle,'' a day job he should by no means let go of? Read full review

New Times (L.A.) Robert Wilonsky

A bland, obnoxious 88-minute infomercial for Universal Studios. Read full review
