I don't venomously hate it the way Doug does, but it's still one of the most unpleasant movies I've ever seen that's supposedly intended for kids. The whole movie's shot in the dark, characters are constantly trying to be cruel in some way, and the story is almost nonexistent, often focusing on the Kids just doing nothing. But worst of all is the "romance" between the prepubescent boy and the subadult girl, which is wron"
