Beset by bad lighting, limited visual imagination and acting so wooden it might have termites.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
The ear-numbing dialogue explains (and explains) rather than dramatizes, though, and the performances are earnest and flat
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Rotten
The film is sunk by a pervasive stasis, the byproduct not of mood but of the filmmakers' amateurish abilities. If there's one thing Nick and Disney know, it's that youthful entertainment needs to keep moving.
Andy Webster, New York Times
Rotten
Do-nothing Sarah may be the dullest, most featureless and inactive protagonist in recent movies -- great news for those Scooby-Doo die-hards who never got enough Freddy.
