Fresh, original, family-friendly flick from Robert Rodriguez!
I am not sure if I enjoyed this soo much because I saw it right after Zombie's fiasco, or because it made me feel like I was nine years old. If I was 9, this would be the greatest movie ever! Rodriguez's imagination is quite something, with every and anything he can imagine in he...( read more)

A young boy's discovery of a colorful, wish-granting rock causes chaos in the suburban town of Black Falls when jealous kids and scheming adults alike set out to get their hands on it.

I havent ever seen it so i really want to but idk if i will like it or what???
My best friend and I were bored one afternoon and so we headed to the cinema. We randomly selected this movie to watch and it was quite okay I guess. It was a lame movie but the humour in it compensated for the lameness of it. Overall, an okay movie that I would not watch again.
I saw it with a 12 yr old, which was the right market... other than the sheer delight of James Spader and the amiability of Bill Macy... there wasn't a lot for me, but the 12 yr old loved it
Excellent family movie! All of the kids did a great job! Shown out of sequence, individual adventures come together in the end. Good stuff!
Was alright, could of flowed a little better. I think it would of been better if I had seen in 3D aswell.
I took my little boy to see this and I think I liked it more than he did. It was funny and clever. Rodriguez is the man! With horror and kids movie.

unbeleveable but that what make it work it just plain fun great if i had kids but then we're all kids at heart if you just need to smile
This is a movie I probably would not have seen in a million years, except for the fact that it was playing between two movies I wanted to see at the drive-in this weekend. I didn't know a thing about it going in but found myself actually enjoying it, despite being a total kid fl...( read more)
A fun kids movie that might serve as a nice introduction to non-linear storytelling. Not a huge amount here other than that. It was fun, and managed to avoid the usual trope of "lol kids are smart and adults are all idiots" that kids movies often play for a cheap win. Even if it ...( read more)
an imaginitive feature for the tweenie crowd, reinforcing their feelings of evident superiority over the embarrassing adolescents they know. a little fun.
This movie was awful! Usually my kids talke non-stop about the movies they go see, but this one they said very little. It jumped around too much especially if you have small children. But I can say the actors in the movie were not bad. Cute kids
