Such a frustrating disappointment

Great Film overall

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

OK, mega-stores wreck mom'n pop businesses, perhaps, so yeah there's "a message".Biggs and Centineo are sweet, and you can see they tried hard.Everything else about the movie is so feeble we found ourselves pitying them for having been tricked into working on a movie that they'll be ashamed of for the rest of their lives.When the moronic bad guys fall in a stream and you see the plastic sheet that kept the water there you realize that the crew had given up on the movie altogether.I suppose you could show it to six and unders, but you might do permanent damage to their ability to distinguish quality from trash.

I am the sort of person who generally cannot understand why many movies are given bad reviews. Too many people seem to review movies purely in a technical sense, particularly kids movies.I watched this movie with two kids aged 12 and 14 and they begged me to stop it after about 30 minutes as they could no longer stand the torture.The acting was awful and the continuity so wrong that it overwhelmed the movie.*************** SPOILER ALERT **************** The part that sent me right over the edge was right near the end when the two kids scramble through a tunnel for a few seconds and emerge almost where they started. This might seem OK except for the fact that they had been walking all day before they entered the tunnel.Maybe a fairly young child might enjoy this movie but they would have to be under the age of 6.Definitely give this one a miss.

OK so my initial impressions of the film was that it was going to be a modern day goonies so had high expectations for a really good family movie.Much to my disappointment this wasn't in the same school let alone class as the goonies,brief plot 2 kids go treasure hunting with a couple of badguys in tow.The acting from all characters was terrible and the props and locations were appalling, this must have been a low budget film to say the least.Do yourself a favour pass up on this one and get the goonies if your after a good family movie.

Basic plot: two kids search for a lost treasure in the hope of getting out of some debt issues, to fulfil their tasks they must follow the clues and avoid the traps and pursuing 'bad guys'. Who with the added adult humour are dumb red necks,cliché. Kids of all ages will enjoys this film and want to watch it again i plan to recommend this to a few of my friends and their children.One favourite of mine in this film is that of the terrible acting even though it will entertain kids, and even the cheesy storyline which i could do without but kids seem to enjoy
