Writer/director/editor/special-effects-supervisor Robert Rodriguez (Spy Kids, Desperado) continues to storm the movie world with The Adventures of SharkBoy and LavaGirl in 3-D. A young boy named Max (Cayden Boyd) finds the real world crashing into his dreams: His parents fight, bullies harrass him at school, and his teacher advises him to get a grip on reality. But Max's faith in his fantasies is so strong that his superheroic creations SharkBoy (Taylor Lautner) and LavaGirl (Taylor Dooley) crash into Max's classroom and take him off to rescue the fantastic planet he dreamed up. Towards the end, SharkBoy and LavaGirl crumbles with clumsy story gaps and bland moral advice, but most of the movie explodes with visual invention. A clockwork villain with electrical limbs commands an army of extension-cord snakes; SharkBoy uses his claws to engrave a diagram of the solar system into a chalkboard; LavaGirl's burning feet melt an ice bridge as she runs across it. It's disappointing that Rodriguez's storytelling flounders, but sections of deliciously fluid movie-making make The Adventures of SharkBoy and LavaGirl in 3-D worth seeing nonetheless. Also featuring David Arquette (Eight Legged Freaks), Kristin Davis (Sex in the City), and George Lopez (Real Women Have Curves). --Bret Fetzer

 That was interesting... January 15, 2010
Dana Y. Banks (Raleigh, NC)
I watched this movie, literally, because there was nothing else on TV. I sat through the special effects, the bad acting, the thin as a credit card plot, etc. And, when the movie was over I said "Well, that was interesting." That's all I could say! It was like some other reviewers' said, Rodriquez got carte blanc to do whatever he wanted to do, he wanted to do a 3D movie and the studio was like "Do whatever you want." It's kind of sad when Spy Kids was such a great movie and then, he unloads this piece of crap on his fans. He took a serious risk as, in the past, I would have seen anything with Rodriquez' name attached to it, but now, I'll definately be hesitating. I feel like I lost 90 minutes of my life that I'll never get back and if I had gone to bed, I probalby could have dreamed a better dream than Rodriquez or anyone associated with this film ever could! Also, while I know they're just children, the acting was horrible and very wooden. However, since the movies was about dreams, I guess it's okay that half of the cast was in a coma! As far as George Lopez, I liked him because he always talked about how Latinos don't get that many parts in Hollywood, yada, yeda yada. But I have to question how much he's advancing Latino actors when it seems as though he'll accept ANY part that's handed to him! Kirsten Davis was definatly wasted as well as David Arquette. I know they want to "graduate" from the small screen to the big screen, but this was like going from high school to community college when you could have waited for ivy league! Again, all I can say is "That was interesting" and attempt to move on after this cinematic disappointment.

This is a Christmas present for my grandchildren. They saw the movie once on TV and have always asked when it will be on again or if I recorded it. Unfortunately, I didn't record it, so now they will have a DVD to watch to their hearts content.

I couldn't believe how fast the video came. I would gladly do business with you again. Brand new movie. Very good condition. Thank you.
A really good movie. November 30, 2009
Rhonda K. Fried
My 6 year old grandson enjoyed this movie a lot - particularly the dream world. We didn't have much success watching the 3D version, but don't really see much difference between that and the regular version.
Great Service November 30, 2009
Joyce R. Smith
I ordered this video for my grandson and it arrived in a very timely manner. He enjoys it very much and has watched it over and over again.
