Spy Kids 2 - Die Rückkehr der Superspione (2002) Beobachten Film

A recycling machine that recalls the high points of previous installments without demonstrating the need for a new one.. If there were a Shrek TV show, this could be the two-part finale of, say, season 3. It isn't bad. It just doesn't belong on a movie screen.. Rodriguez seems to be trying too hard to cram in too much - more gadgets, more characters, more noise, more color. But bigger, brighter and faster isn't necessarily better.. Mr. Murphy's toothy, shifty-eyed Donkey who distills the series'...

Bedtime Stories champions imagination while having too little originality itself.. . [Actress] Pettis is adorable, but she's compelled to push the cuteness dial well past one's tolerance level.. Judged as a piece of family entertainment, it's too haphazard and poorly paced to satisfy viewers too young to have ever attended a kegger..

Planes (2013) Film-Streaming

"Cars," with planes. And some cars. And a truck or two.. [It] isn't as giddily entertaining as its predecessor but much of the charm remains, making this an ideal destination for a family excursion.. This film is 100 percent devoid of surprises. It's the story of an underestimated underdog that's like every other kid-friendly, life-coachy story about an underestimated underdog.. The songs are infectious, but the rest (despite turns by Tina Fey and Ty Burrell) lacks some of the gang's usual feel-...

The directors and screenwriters hit all their marks and push all the right buttons, but the story never really takes off, and the characters never really spark to life..

It would be too much to say that there's a good movie somewhere inside Smurfs 2 looking to get out.

There's plenty of humor, plenty of magic and even a bit of romantic stress, although there's also quite a bit of mulling and standing about..

This computer-animated (but non-Pixar) adventure flick doesn't do much of anything innovative, but it sports a disarming furball of a lead and enough jaunty comic turns to carry the day.. In the pre-Thanksgiving lull, parents can take their young'uns to Bolt, drop their 10-to-14-year-olds off at Twilight, and the whole family will have survived the weekend.. Adults won't find much to enjoy here, though the dog's high-octane action series serves as a perverse parody of Jerry Bruckheimer-style sum...

Nix wie weg - vom Planeten Erde (2013) Online-Streaming-

It's a bowl of warm water into which no one has bothered to place a bouillon cube. The kids in the theater with me never mustered a single laugh or gasp of excitement. It's plenty o' nuttin'.. There's scarcely enough story here for a half-hour TV cartoon.. It's unchallenging fun for a younger crowd, but adults might feel like they're staring down a colorful 24-piece board puzzle, trying to figure out how such a simple activity could be drawn out over 90 minutes.. ... as cluttered as the movie ge...

Fat Albert (2004) Streaming-

Although Fat Albert is smart enough to poke fun at itself director Joel Zwick can't quite conjure up any modern relevance.. The Cosby touch (he's co-writer and co-executive producer) is in full effect, schmaltz notwithstanding, as Albert and the gang run through their series of pleasantly diverting escapades.. Fat Albert manages to talk down to two generations of pop-cult consumers - the Boomers and the Gen-Xers - while leaving no reason for their uncategorized offspring to join in on the Hey! H...

Wir kaufen einen Zoo (2011) Online-Streaming-

"We Bought a Zoo" is a movie you want to like, and a movie you can enjoy if you cut its slackness some slack.. The picture annoys you, but it also wrings happy tears, because Crowe pulls at your heartstrings in crafty ways.. Damon and Colin Ford as his teen son have an affecting hesitancy, their hearts hovering between the living and the dead.. We Bought a Zoo is so filled with artificial sweetener that it may cause cancer.. A pretty good fantasy -- with different bits of Potter and Jules Verne ...

Rango (2011) Download Film

Say what you will about 'Rango,' the computer-animated Western riding hard on Johnny Depp doing the voice of a lizard - just don't call it business as usual.. Yes, [there are] enough nods to other sources to make Rango a bobblehead. But the movie, and much of John Logan's writing, is still pretty durn clever.. What elevates it above a cheeky romp is the skilled CGI work, not only the wealth of tactile detail lavished on the parched townsfolk but also the painterly, sand-swept vistas they call ho...
