Although it may be too zany for adults, We Can Be Heroes balances its sophisticated themes with heart and zealous originality.

Irish Times

We need a baby-sitter we can trust while nursing the last of the season's hangovers. Just try and stay out of the room for the excruciatingly sunny cover of David Bowie's Heroes.

Rated: 3/5

Randy Myers

San Jose Mercury News

A sort of sequel to "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl," this film gives kids exactly what they want. Adults? Not so much.

Rated: 2.5/4

Goofy, but it never defaults or cops out on that...you gotta take this for what it is, which is a lot of fun.

While not quite Sharkboy and Lavagirl 2, We Can Be Heroes is yet another fun, family-friendly film by Robert Rodriguez.

An all around improvement on the first movie, but it’s still not great. While it (depending on the person) makes more sense than the first movie, it really is just basic kids superhero movie 101.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
