I put this movie on for my 3 girls - 6 1/2 and 4 year twins earlier this week. They LOVED IT! It is definitely for the younger crowd and you need to take the movie for what it is....... Full review

Captures childhood adventures in "Pretendingland"

deamatre - imdb.com
This movie makes no sense- at least, not in the linear, neat, tidy, world of adulthood. But, it captures the messy, gritty, disjointed, weird, raw, non-linear, funky, wild, whimsical, internally inconsistent world of true childhood fantasy better than any film... Full review
It isn't THAT bad

Let's see. I went to see Disney's "The Shaggy Dog" with a friend and her grandkids. It was dull, stupid, predictable, and unimaginative, and the characters were utterly forgettable, every single one, including the dog.Then the next night I watched... Full review

I hated it.My two kids (5 and 7) thought it was the best movie of all time. And they've seen lots of movies. Let's face it: we can't always dictate what the kids should like. This one simply appeals to... Full review

Well, I didn't like it. Or, at the least what I mean is that I just saw a movie with tons of plot-holes, childish themes, and so on. However, you better believe my kids loved it. My son actually hooted... Full review

I took my 9 year old son to Shark Boy and Lava Girl expecting to see a movie for kids. I saw a movie for kids. Yes, the story was predictable and the acting could have been better. Many scenes... Full review
Where's the 3-d?

This movie doesn't really need a review. If you have a boy between the ages of 5 and 12, you are probably going to have/get to see this film so here's what to expect:More of the same... only less. Sorry... Full review

I recall that film, and without any pleasure I might add, because while Rodriguez has left that franchise behind, he has not, apparently, lost his fascination for 3-D. There is much more of it in ADVENTURES than in GAME OVER, but it's a gimmick that only adds to the general irritation inspired by the film, what with all the fumbling with the elastic that secures the 3-D glasses and, of, course, the way the slide around in one's lap between prompts to put them back on. ...

THE ADVENTURES OF SHARKBOY AND LAVAGIRL IN 3-D may not be Oscar-worthy, but it will definitely please its target audience of elementary-school kids. The movie focuses on shy ten-year-old Max (Cayden Boyd), who loses himself in an elaborate fantasy world to escape the classmates who bully him and the constant bickering of his parents (David Arquette and Kristin Davis). ...

Its a sort of The More You Know moment, but it highlights the magic that made the movie such a success. The result is a fantastic journey that is built to capture and inspire young minds without boring them to death. ... Full Review

The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D" is bizarre and (if you can endure the glasses) visually interesting enough, and the script refreshingly free enough ("Wizard of Oz" cribbing aside) of pop culture references and stock characters, that on the whole it feels genuine. ... Full Review
