In a nutshell, this stinks. I don't think I have ever seen such a collection of untalented people gathered together in one place and contributing to one film. The story is ridiculous (what there is of it!), the direction is amateurish, the acting is deplorable, even from the kids. If this was written, directed and acted completely by kids, I could say nice try but keep trying. Sadly, this was written, directed and produced by adults. Wow! C Thomas Howell's career must really be on the skids for him to have appeared in this. Apparently, this is based on a novel or series of novels. I have never heard of these books on their author. Based on this movie I can guess why. And apparently these books are based on real happenings. Really!???

Your pre-teenage kids might be able to sit through this dreck, but you probably won't be. In fact, why inflict this on your kids when there are so many other good movies you can introduce them to? Give this a miss.

To start this review off I would first like to thank each and every random person they drug off the streets to create this work of art. The actors... too good for words, not sure what all the people got paid to be a part of this movie but their salary needs to increased tenfold. This movie had everything from quotable one-liners to intense scenes with the most realistic explosions ever. The comedy alone is top notch, one of my personal favorite lines of this epic film is "what?!" "crotch got your tongue?" nothing short of iconic. The only thing I wish was that is was longer so I could enjoy it for even longer! Why should you listen to me? I do feel qualified to rate and review this film because I have watched it no less than 5 times and I can assure you it gets better every time

Lastly I have shared this picture with friends, family and I would encourage you to watch it and share it with the world. It has a special place in my heart as it has become a family tradition to watch it on Christmas as well as an inside joke with some of my friends. Now all that's left to do is go and watch "the rack pack"
