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
