The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D description Writer/director/editor/special-effects-supervisor Robert Rodriguez (Spy Kids, Desperado) continues to storm the movie world with The Adventures of SharkBoy and LavaGirl in 3-D. A young boy named Max (Cayden Boyd) finds the real world crashing into his dreams: His parents fight, bullies harrass him at school, and his teacher advises him to get a grip on reality. But Max's faith in his fantasies is so strong that his superheroic creations SharkBoy (Taylor Lautner) and LavaGirl (Taylor Dooley) crash into Max's classroom and take him off to rescue the fantastic planet he dreamed up. Towards the end, SharkBoy and LavaGirl crumbles with clumsy story gaps and bland moral advice, but most of the movie explodes with visual invention. A clockwork villain with electrical limbs commands an army of extension-cord snakes; SharkBoy uses his claws to engrave a diagram of the solar system into a chalkboard; LavaGirl's burning feet melt an ice bridge as she runs across it. It's disappointing that Rodriguez's storytelling flounders, but sections of deliciously fluid movie-making make The Adventures of SharkBoy and LavaGirl in 3-D worth seeing nonetheless. Also featuring David Arquette (Eight Legged Freaks), Kristin Davis (Sex in the City), and George Lopez (Real Women Have Curves). --Bret Fetzer |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Very pretty, but the story falls flat |
| I bought this movie for my 7 year-old daughter for Christmas after she talked about it for months. And since receiving it in her Christmas stocking 3 days ago, I have seen it over a dozen times. The truth is, it gets worse every time I see it. I have to say, the movie itself (especially Planet Drool) is very pretty. The 3-D doesn't work well at all and actually makes the movie less colorful. We discarded the glasses after the first 3 minutes of the first showing. The acting is terrible and there are huge plot gaps. Most of the movie doesn't even make sense, although I like the idea. Even though it has been constantly playing in my house for 3 days, I've never seen it all the way through because it does not hold my attention.
Despite all of this, my daughter adores this movie and hasn't stopped talking about it. What can I say? |
