7 / 10 6 / 10 I liked it! Yeah it was 'wonky' but give it a try
My Movie Rating: 5 / 10 Oh dear. How not to make a kiddy film is all here in this Canadian production. The whole thing is directed and, to a certain extent, acted amateurishly and makes you appreciate boy films done by a competent director. While the acting is passable, the film scenes are disjointed and the viewer isn't always able to follow who all the characters are. The special effects are mostly laughable.
I give it 3 stars but that's only because cute Dalton Mugridge is in it. This is a boy film to avoid.

It's bad, at times laughably so. Expect student-film level acting and writing. The girl character is a rather irritating know-it-all and her voiceover is pure exposition. Some rather odd choices: why do they call the teacher 'professor?' Why is there a black-and-white clip that implies a character dies, when he doesn't? Still, there's a certain charm to a low-budget movie like this, and Dalton is a decent actor. Mercifully short at roughly 80 mins. End-credit bloopers were fun. I have to watch the sequel now out of curiosity about how much worse it can get.
