Take that to the theater with you, use it to temper your adult expectations, and the allowance will enhance this often-affecting, little film.
Culkin is first-rate.
As appealing as elder brother Macaulay and a better actor.

Good movie about friendship, especially for middle schoolers.
This is a good movie to initiate a talk with middle schoolers about the way that all 7th graders feel like outcasts at times

The film is full of surprises.
It's a defining moment not just for Max (Elden Henson) and Kevin (Kieran Culkin), who go on to be best buddies in ``The Mighty,'' but also for the movie itself, which announces its intention to convey the indomitable human spirit and the power of friendship -- subjects that so easily fall into cliche.

Bright, colourful and lively, Spongebob Square Pants is an endearing animated movie for kids of all ages and lovers of the Nickelodeon television series.
It's a buddy movie and a coming of age story combined, with Spongebob discovering that the sea isn't always bluer elsewhere (or when you're grown up), and realises that being a kid isn't such a bad thing.
