Laura Fries Variety Director Shawn Levy does a nice job of providing the action with a minimum amount of aggression, an approach most impressively executed in an imaginative, meticulously choreographed playground fight sequence. Oct 18, 2018 Full Review Tom Cassidy Common Sense Media A high concept body swap movie that blurs lines between reality, fantasy, and dreams, this is an ambitious slice of children's science fiction. Rated: 4/5 Jan 5, 2022 Full Review Nancy Imperiale Wellons South Florida Sun-Sentinel It's a rousing end. Sep 12, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
