Terrible CGI and special effects: Check Meandering plot: Check Blatant filler scenes: Check Bad acting: Check BONUS POINT, Actor trying to impersonate a more famous actor: Check Ridiculous set-up: CheckOn their own, each of the above is excusable. They can even occur in good films, and some of them can even aid their film if done correctly. However, when stacked up on each other like they are in this film, they result in a bad film. Watch it if you enjoy laughably bad films.Postscript: A lot of people will defend bad children's films on the basis that children enjoy them. This is not an acceptable excuse, it either implies that children should be left alone to watch films, or that parents should be made to watch bad films. This negligent attitude to children's cinema is why studios produce films like The Emoji Movie, and why we now have a generation of cinema-goers that pays to watch Transformers films.

... but this one was hard to sit through!The special effects were very cheesy and the magic was unimaginative, except for the moon part, which was pretty cool.The acting was abysmal overall. The actress who played the mom was superb, but the actor who played the starring role was just awful! I can see him in a smaller part, but to cast him in the starring role...? Who thought that was a good idea?! No disrespect towards the lad; he's still young, and with experience might be a fine actor someday, but his performance in this movie was as wooden as a fence post. Better casting in the lead role might have made a significant difference. The evil magician was no better, but at least he wasn't the main character and thus was tolerable.Spoiler warning ....There is an obvious hole in the plot at the end when Bobby puts his dog's service vest away because he no longer has the need for a crutch. That goes completely against the whole time-change arc! If the accident never happened, then Bobby would never have developed agoraphobia and the need for a service dog.I don't have any small children, and I imagine that a young child might actually enjoy this movie, but if you are over the age of 10 you will probably be disappointed. It's truly one of the blandest films I've seen in some time!

I'm honestly stunned that this script got approved and was actually made into a "movie"! Outside of the terrible acting from basically every cast member the story was incredibly weak with more holes in it than Swiss Cheese! The special effects looked like they were done by a high schooler working on a class project. As the movie progresses (if you can even call it that) it looks like the cast and crew started giving up on the movie and just threw random clips in and used non experienced actors to play small roles. This is very obvious in the Million Dollar Talent Show segment. It's almost too hard to watch! I can't image this movie doing well at all unless the budget was $10,000 and someone forced a bunch of people to go see it. Hopefully nothing like this ever gets made again!

The film screened to over 1,000 kids and adults at the Sedona International Film Festival and the audience loved it! IMDb requests that I type ten lines of text to get this review submitted. I don't have ten lines of stuff to type, but maybe by talking about not having ten lines then IMDb will print this. I hope so, because I don't want to have to write an essay every time I see a movie and want to post a review on IMDb. Ten lines of text is a lot. I still haven't typed ten lines and I am exhausted! It still won't let me submit so here I am typing more and more lines. Still not at ten lines. Whew this is exhausting. I've never written ten lines in my life, but IMDb is insisting I do it.
