Earnest and kid-friendly -- also simplistic and dramatically creaky.

It gussies up the tale with so many random subplots that by the time we cut through the morass, the film is over.

Would be solid family entertainment if it weren't for the funereal pacing, which may kill its appeal among young audiences.

A contrived and sentimental melodrama, the film takes a promising premise and crushes it with mind-numbing repetition, sophomoric conveniences, plastic acting and the worst score, perhaps, ever heard.
