OK at best. A rehash of old Sci Fi Movies

Rating: Null/10 (1 September 2011)

A predictable and sorry rehash of movies already done, and done well. "The Goonies" for a new generation with elements of "The Thing" thrown in. The film revolves around a group of kids and their dysfunctional parents. One kid reminded me of Nelson from the Simpsons, another of Martin Prince. We had Chief Wiggum the incompetent cop. Seymour Skinner the Air Force Colonel and Lisa the budding actress. This could have been a barely watchable movie for kids, but they had to throw in obscene language and scenes that are lame for adults, but not suitable for young kids. A truly dreadful script with zero originality. I feel robbed of the ticket price. If you have to see it, wait for it to appear in the discount bins. You won't have to wait long.
