Much better than I was expecting

Rating: 9/10 (14 July 2010)

The first time I heard about this time I thought that this was going to be something stupid and boring like many of the live action films produced by Disney. Fortunately, this was much better than I was expecting, mostly because of the performance of Jack Black, which makes here one of his funniest roles. But also, the direction of Richard Linklater was more than correct, creating a film that could be enjoyed by children and adults as well, avoiding stupid stereotypes and predictable plot lines that usually appear on this kind of films. The performances of the children were quite good too, and this movie kept a good level from the beginning to the end.
I highly recommend this film to anyone, specially if you are tired of boring family flicks.
