John Anderson Variety Beset by bad lighting, limited visual imagination and acting so wooden it might have termites. Oct 22, 2007 Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe The ear-numbing dialogue explains (and explains) rather than dramatizes, though, and the performances are earnest and flat Rated: 1/4 Oct 20, 2007 Full Review Andy Webster New York Times The film is sunk by a pervasive stasis, the byproduct not of mood but of the filmmakers' amateurish abilities. If there's one thing Nick and Disney know, it's that youthful entertainment needs to keep moving. Oct 20, 2007 Full Review Mack Rawden CinemaBlend Clocking in at just over eighty minutes, Sarah Landon is a filmmaker's clinic in consistency: how to be consistently awful. Rated: 1/5 Sep 5, 2014 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Landon won't be a household name any time soon... Sep 4, 2010 Full Review Annlee Ellingson Boxoffice Magazine Middle school-level dialogue and acting -- like a young-adult novel written by junior high kids rather than for them -- don't help.

Audience Member ukk pretty awful I fell asleep for some of it, not sure how my boyfriend made it all the way through Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The only thing good about this movie was the popcorn and coke that I bought at the concession stand. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw this a few days before Halloween. I was searching for something to watch on a Saturday afternoon and this sounded interesting. I liked it a lot. Just enough suspense to keep me guessing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm not sure where "Sarah Landon and the Paranormal Hour" came from because there were no trailers, no advance notice and no screenings. It just showed up in a couple of theaters for a week, and then it disappeared as quickly as it came. Apparently, pre-teen girls know who Sarah is because she's the star of a popular series of mystery novels for young adults, and as her film debut closes she hints at more movies to come. But if the box office receipts for this one are any indication, this is the one and only Landon film we're likely to see and because of that, movie lovers everywhere should rejoice. It's not so much a bad film as it is a bland and forgettable one with a lackluster cast. Considering how many surnames that appear more than once throughout the credits, nepotism was running rampant here. But it's also a shining example of why hiring your family may not help your film any. Newcomer Rissa Walters stars as Sarah, and she's a pretty enough girl but is seriously lacking in screen presence. The script is real goody-goody despite a few mature details of the story, and that helps to make the film a little more bearable. The unintentional laughs also help, but not enough. The central mystery that makes up the movie's plot is not totally without interest, but in the same respect, it could have easily been lifted from a decades-old Nancy Drew book or a mediocre "Scooby Doo" episode. "Sarah Landon and the Paranormal Hour" is a curious film that is no better or worse than the recent big-budget "Nancy Drew" film. Anybody other than pre-teen girls should have something better to do. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This was the most amazing movie I have ever seen... From the horrible acting to the really bad turnip skulls... I love sitting and watching this movie and making fun of it with my family... Legit, I got the DVD just because. However, as much as I loved this movie I have to seriously critique it. The acting, story line and even sometimes the props and clothing were shotty at best. It is still a fun movie to watch if you don't take it too seriously.... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member goooooooooodddddd not really scaryy buttt gdddd Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
