Sydney Morning Herald Set on Halloween, the script is original and nicely creepy, even when the boys are joined by a redhead named Jenny. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 23, 2006 Full Review Philip French Guardian One of the best animated movies of the past couple of years and the most enjoyable family entertainment of recent months. Aug 12, 2006 Full Review Ian Freer Empire Magazine A scary, sharp, funny movie, this is the best kids' flick of the year so far. Rated: 4/5 Aug 11, 2006 Full Review Anton Bitel BFI here the setting is unambiguously autumnal, in what is possibly cinema's first (and only) opening 'single-take' sequence focalised entirely through a deciduous leaf. Oct 21, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins For reasons unknown, Sony Pictures decided to release this perfectly Halloween-themed children's film in the middle of June. Rated: 6/10 Nov 21, 2020 Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof A good movie that passes very quickly. [Full Review in Spanish] Feb 14, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
