Lots of good laughs. Related well to characters, especially the nerd who becomes the hero. "I liked the big explosion from the tuba when it fell in the pool." "It shows how it will be when we're teenagers, but we covered our eyes during the kissy part."

Enjoyable family film, well written and well told. Lots of action and comedy with a serious ending. Fine scenery and quality photography; auditory accents enhance the drama. A contemporary version of old legends, showing real kids with real problems.
