Review

Puerile slapstick comedy coupled with that good-old buddy-movie feel makes this unorthodox animated superhero film, based on Dav Pilkey's popular novels, a good watch for younger children and families. Sure, the tempo is too high and it's all very commercialized, but at least it's fun and absolutely in tone with the literature on which it's based.
