Rotten
Fleeting charms are largely outweighed by an unexceptional script, a brace of shabby performances (from both kids and adults) and some dismal CG effects.

Jenkins is a bit too McDreamy to play the geeky underdog, and adult viewers will be nostalgic for the chubby, bucktoothed and truly dorky cast of The Goonies.
Shauna Cagan, Time Out New York
Rotten
Basically a tweener cable movie on steroids, with a bigger budget and a larger cast of B-list character actors.
Mike Hale, New York Times
Rotten
It appears designed for families who never leave the mall.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Rotten
A forgettable bit of fluff that will zip out of your orbit as soon as the credits roll.
