First and foremost let me say that since I was a kid this was one of those movies that I awlays saw when I went to the movie rental store and never picked up. I recently got the opportunity to watch this film with justin and had mixed feelings about this.
This is one of those movies that's so campy you can't help but laugh at it, but at the same time, the kid-audience orientation of the movie almost justifies some of the campyness... like, the acting is definitely on par for what a kid-tailored movie would look like, but there are so many weird little faux pas that make me also think it's just a movie that's so bad it'd good.
There are a lot of things you see that may be interesting as a thought, but when executed in filming are not so great (like that weird plastic spider hanging down in the fly kid's basement while he is working... it's obviously fake, but has no purpose anyway).
If you have kids or like me never had the opportunity to have watched it. Pick up this rental and watch a very young Sean Astin make a fool of himself.
Rating...
5/10
