Expected more got less.

Well I have to admit from viewing the trailers,I thought this would be a sweet, funny and maybe a bit quirky family movie. It was none of those. It was just plain weird and boring. From reading other reviews, there must be an audience for the mundane. The adult actors were some of my favorites,however, they couldn't keep me interested in a storyline that seemed to come from someone's confused mind. I would not take any child under 17 to see this train wreck. Why do so many pseudo intellectuals feel that a really bad movie is an expression of "art". A movie like "Stand By Me" was far superior. The child actors in Moonrise overacted and the script had them act as if they were young adults. That is a turn off. It comes across as phony not funny. I would give it 4 stars for the scenery which was beautiful, however, for the misguided storyline 0 stars. I wasted 2 hours of my time.
