The kids in this syrupy family picture are spunky tykes and the adults are dolts, but Wood is worth watching because she's so clearly ready to play nobody's girl but her own. Go to Full Review Richard Roeper Ebert & Roeper 08/27/2002
There are a lot of movies out there made for fourteen-year-old boys, a ton of movies made for six-year-old kids, this movie is made for ten-year-old girls and for what it is, I really like it. Go to Full Review Scott Foundas Variety 08/23/2002
What you end up with are a bunch of kids acting not like kids, but how adults who've lost all sense of what it was like to be a kid think kids behave. Go to Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 04/29/2009

Stephen C @bob25009 06/20/2025 Unfunny in 1 hour and 42 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $405,200.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 06/08/2021 i am not used to watching movies w all of the characters are good guys whose worst flaws are keeping a secret or petty theft or obnoxious white lies. Evan Rachel Wood is good in this. her role is weird at 1st bc i know her from Westworld also given her young age & what i know of her deal w Marilyn Manson. it feels creepy to watch w 2021 eyes. See more 10/09/2014 There are moments sprinkled about this show that are unforgettable.
