Great Film overall

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Although the puppet in this movie leaves much to be desired, the acting by the character playing Chris, the better looking of the two boys, is absolutely outstanding. He commands a presence on screen that is rivaled only by his devilish good looks. All in all, he saves this film and puts it on my top ten list.

A new classic, in the genre of kid's movies with horrible puppets. Not since Pet Shop has there been such a repulsive puppet star, as stiff and awkward as the script in which it reads. Butter up the popcorn, dim the lights, and get ready to fast-forward through the human actors, cause this bird really knows how to fly!My score: 2
