To be honest, I didn't expect much beforehand but it had been a while since I saw something starring Macauley Culkin so I thought I should give it a try. Even though I turned out to be indeed pretty disappointing, I still think the whole thing did have some potential. For this project which took more than 3 years to be completed, they hired two directors, the debuting Pixote Hunt for the animation... read more

When I was a kid, I remember seeing a trailer for this movie. I eventually saw it after seeing the Nostalgia Critic's review of it, and I watched it, and... well, he was right about the part of this movie being a bit boring, but not entirely boring, and he got some parts of the message wrong. This movie is about becoming brave, which is what the timid Richard Tyler has to learn, so says The Pagema... read more
