2/5
The gags are pretty feeble and the action flat, and Wilson (seen to much better effect in Annabelle: Creation) over-acts so much you fear her eyeballs will pop. Go to Full Review

Maxwell C 03/15/2024 Cheesy and dumb. That scene during the climax would've been considered a cinematic masterpiece 80 years ago. You can tell they didn't put any effort into making this. The acting was okay as far as I can remember, but that doesn't really make a difference because the plot sucked a$$ and every action scene felt like an episode of the Odd Squad from PBS Kids. Your kids will probably like it though See more Giorgio G @GioBlob 10/27/2023 Considering that it's a kiddie movie, it's quite alright. Even I did enjoy a few laughs and giggles. Anyway I have always been a fan of Lou Diamond Phillips. 5/10. See more Name S 07/08/2022 The original from 1996 high higher steaks and a real danger element in the story. This was a joke and not taken seriously. The attempt to make this good was not there it feels like it was another ploy to make money off of a name of a movie that was way better than this. This movie being associated with Universal hurts. Missing elements. Humor, action, and story. See more 02/16/2018 A good family movie. See more 02/04/2018 An unusual team-up to fight a crime! A sequel to a 24 year old film! I'm not talking a film like 'Blade Runner'. It was considered a flop, but the concept looked good, particularly for a children's film. This is not a follow up story. Entirely a new cast and a new situation. The story of a young girl Karina, influenced by her late cop father, she's interested in fighting, solving crimes. So she frequently ends up in the principal office in her school. On one day, she comes across a cop who is trying to follow a lead to a man responsible for a series of vandals around the city. This unusual team-up, sees an unexpected success, how it all happens that you should watch it to know. The casting was decent, but the lead two guys were good. Particularly Lulu. Seems one of the future big star on making. The story, it's okayish. Predictable, but also enjoyable. Acceptable graphics, better one for television quality. There were lots of silly scenes, but overall a much entertaining film. Just a cinematic story, it does not make sense in the real world. A film that brings together kids and adults, a pure family film and a perfect weekend film. Such films do not make any harm, only you have to put aside a while your rational mind to have a good time. 6.5/10 See more Twinsen 7 @Twinsen764 09/28/2017 A cheesey movie with the girl from anabelle. Funny characters with bad CG. The cop-girl relationship stands out in this. See more Read all reviews
