Sadly Over-hyped

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This movie is great for all ages! I liked seeing the story from both Ariel and Megan's point of view. The script was well-written and intelligent, funny and engaging. Younger viewers might enjoy the "alien" part of the plot, for example, the way Ariel talks. Adult viewers would probably appreciate the emotional interaction between Megan and Ariel. I for one liked all the pretty colors. (Ariel's pink and orange are strangely compelling...) I've seen this movie more times than I can count, and read the book too, and I still keep noticing new things each time I watch it. I definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone. People who enjoyed this movie might also like Zenon: Girl of the Twenty-First Century.

i thought that the movie stepsister from planet weird was a very great family movie i am 16 years old and i liked the movie very much and if anyone that reads this knows some information about Henry Feagins that played as fanul please e-mail me because i really want to find out stuff about him. thanks if you haven't seen the movie you should it's good for kids of all ages and parents.

This movie was a neat experience. It gave a surreal look into both character's views and left a smile on my face. Also, a great cameo from the girl who played Margie in Zenon, Girl of the 21st Century. I liked how it went back in time, to show how the Yukon's population was low and that weird kid who "skated" down the hill. While it's script was a bit flawed, it had a great payoff. Fun movie!

This movie is very good and one the whole family will enjoy. It is fun while also teaching that family is the most important thing. This is a lesson that children today especially need to learn. Good, non-violent movie!!
