Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
lockoffmydad I watched this movie for the first time in years and it was even better than I remembered.
invisibleunicornninja All I know about this movie is that it was shown to me multiple times when I was younger. It gave me nightmares. I watched it again once more recently and by more recently I mean recent enough that I actually remember something from it. This movie came out when I was 3 and it really scared me. All I remember from rewatching it was a couple of pee jokes, some flat voice acting, and being both bored and scared. Maybe this movie is great and I should watch it again, but the story is convoluted and probably shouldn't be shown to young children.
huggibear I was baffled by the graphics and what they got an animated movie to do. I'm so curious about what goes into the making of an animated movie such as this. I've been backstage at Disney to watch how they created an animated film years ago, probably 80's. But I haven't been recently and it would be intriguing to see how it's done and put all together. What are the easy parts and what are the difficult parts, ya know? This movie is cute, but a bit far-fetched. It's still good though because of the quality of the animation these days and what they can do with it. Impressed! Great work! This is a good movie for small children to watch, particularly around the Halloween Holiday.
byson5186 I saw this movie in the movie theaters 8 years ago on a date. I've rented it and seen it a couple of times since then. But, of all the computer animated movies, I'd rank this one as my favorite for a few reasons. One, is if I see movies like Cars or Finding Nemo, they seem too kiddish for me and they always have, even though they made a lot of money and have good special effects. I mean those movies seem like watching a TV show for preschool aged kids and I don't think of the plots as that entertaining. I feel like watching Cars where all the characters are vehicles, is like watching Thomas The Tank Engine. I think I prefer movies with human characters. Well, I can give you a few reasons this movie really entertained me and why I prefer it over any other computer animated movie so far. Obviously, the characters in this movie are humans, and this movie takes place in the modern day rather than how some of these computer animated movies take place like during the medieval period. Not only does it take place in the modern day but if you watch the movie you'll notice how it doesn't take place during the time it was made in the 2000s, and supposedly takes place in the '80s, a period of time a lot of us can consider when life was more simple. What else is also interesting about this movie, the main characters in this movie are middle school students: DJ, Chowder, and Jenny. I think of middle school as the most interesting age. The characters in this movie, seem like realistic characters and they're computer animated. The neighborhood where the action takes place also seems like a typical neighborhood, minus the creepy house across the street from DJ. It's also cool how Jon Heder the guy who we remember as Napoleon Dynamite plays a voice in this movie as like an alienated obsessed video game player, knowing how things from video games can apply to real life. The movie shows some scary images too, like skeletons. The house across the street, by all means is a scary house and some of the action scenes in the movie reminded me of a couple of action scenes in a bigger movie, War Of The Worlds. This movie did get pretty intense and scary in a couple of scenes where it almost felt like it should have been rated PG-13. This is also like a Halloween movie, as the action takes place the day before and the day of Halloween. Too bad this movie didn't make as much money as a lot of the other computer animated movies. But, to me personally this movie meets more of my taste, and it seems like a more entertaining and less cheesy movie to watch than a lot of those other computer animated movies. I'd give this movie a 10/10.
