This seemed like a typical young kid vs. bad guys movie. But having Justin Berfield as the star made it a 5 star film. He has such good comic timing. The scene in the middle was classic---where Justin was fixing macaroni & cheese and he was singing and dancing in his uncle's kitchen.   

Of course, this is another kid-defeats-bad-guys flick, just like the many Home Alones and Three Ninja movies. But unlike them, Justin Berfield, one of the main stars, manages to save the movie's unoriginal and mediocre plot. His perfect timing and stellar performance makes him stand out in this film, giving it a full five stars, and making it worthwhile of watching.

I really liked this movie. Justin Berfield is always great and Robert Carridine was a likeable Dad. My favorite was the humorous villain, Mr X played by the British star Martin Jarvis. I loved him in Titanic and Buster and here he was different again - keen to dominate the world, just like a James Bond bad guy. Great fun - all our family loved it.

The best thing about this movie is that Justin Berfield is extremely good-looking and funny. Otherwise it was sorta corny. Check out "Mom, can I keep her"; Justin is in that one too.

Justin Berfield Defenatly adds Major Pionts, cuz he is soooo Hott! This movie is only good cuz of him!

Were it not for Justin Berfield starring, I probably would have passed on this one. He is one of my favorite young actors though, so I gave it a view. The story was good and there was plenty of action; but the rest of the actors were only so-so. (Especially the girl who played the lifeguard; she seemed bored.) If you're a fan of Justin's work---check out the TV show "Unhappily Ever After". Justin is way funnier than his older brother on the show.
