I found this to be nearly unwatchable. Granted, I never liked the story in the first place and I have a natural distaste for doughy, family movies. Many Christian critics love the film, but anytime you have a snotty kid in the lead and celebrities doing voice overs for two-dimensional, hollow, characters, it is too much for me to take. I do not recommend this movie, however if you like vacuous family fare that neither entertains or instructs, you have a movie to put on your must-see list.
