Phantom Of The Megaplex takes a couple of urban legends and weaves them into a tale told for the family. All in a day's work in the life of young Taylor Handley the assistant manager of a 26 screen Megaplex movie theater. I don't think I've been to one with more than 15 screens.When this Megaplex was built an old style movie palace was torn down and legend has it that someone was buried alive inside the wreckage and haunts the new Megaplex. The old owner of the movie palace is played by Mickey Rooney and he hangs around the new theater and is something of a character.But on a big premiere night all kinds of things start to go wrong and Handley is the man on the job. In addition to his sleuthing and emergency management he also has to look after younger siblings Caitlin Wachs and Jacob Smith.Who do some sleuthing of their own and find in the lower depths of the building much like the Phantom Of The Opera, a lair that Mickey Rooney has created for himself.All in all a nice family film, not to taxing.

One of my Favorites.The film is about Pete Riley (Handley) who works at a huge Megaplex, where things begin to go wrong. His siblings (Smith)(Wachs) are two movie lovers, like myself, who want to save the Megaplex. If that isn't enough, the place is about to have a huge premiere for the owners film. Crazy huh? Anyway, the acting is pretty decent, some fiction mixed in with Non-Fiction. It's got to be one of the best and most remembered Disney Film.Micky Rooney is in it! How much better can it get! One for the family, this film. It's entertainment on all levels.Disney better continue to play this film, because if they don't, I have no idea whats going on in their heads.

I woke up one day with a bad hangover, switched on the TV and this came on. It had fresh-faced teens, it had fresh-faced Mickey Rooney, it had giant inflatable monsters that somehow chase people around. All of that was fantastic, as was the amusing side story about some skanks, but I just found the whole story too complicated. I was lying in my bed eating a couple of sausage rolls, trying to frantically write down clues that could lead me to guess who the 'Phantom' was. I really thought it was the mum's new boyfriend. I guess it was all those references to the blue sofa that threw me off (which I was later told was something out of Greek mythology. The Mickey Rooney references apparently make more sense if you play them backwards).Overall, it's probably a great movie for boffins and computer wizard's, who can strut around, pipe in hand, theorising on the inverted characters and social themes that are carefully woven withing the fabric of the film, and gloating at how they managed to guess the identity of the 'Phantom', but the rest of us should steer clear. Just another of those 'too-deep-for-their own good' Mickey Rooney movies. I love the guy, but he should have given up after Coyote Ugly.
