I didn't get a migraine, but there are stronger recommendations.

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

The Cinema Spot

If this movie is a set-up for a potential crossover between Rodriguez’s Spy films and Heroes films, then so be it.

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

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Terrible plot, confusing character development, bad acting (I mean, look, the kid who played Guppy tried her best, but they made her seem a little overpowered, you know?).

OMG I don't know what ppl are seeing in this movie to give it good reviews. THIS MOVIE IS TERRIBLE! Even for kids movie. Acting is really bad, script is horrible, plot is ridiculous... Complete waste of money to make. High School drama class could have done better.

I really love this movie! I think the end is the best part because it was a good thing but not a bad thing. I loved the plot twist when they discovered Oho was an alien spy. Again, this movie is a must-see!
