Member Rating:  
Writer and director Robert Rodriguez returns to the family-friendly adventure of his Spy Kids movies with this three-dimensional action opus. Max (Cayden Boyd) is a ten-year-old boy who doesn't get along with his peers and is constantly bullied at school. But Max has an active imagination, and he has a pair of very special imaginary playmates -- Shark Boy (Taylor Lautner), a human-shark half-breed cared for by a pack of great whites, and Lava Girl (Taylor Dooley), a girl with superpowers who can conjure heat and fire at will. Max may be a creative boy, but what he doesn't know is that Shark Boy and Lava Girl really do exist, and he is recruited to help them as they do battle against Mr. Electricity, a super-villain determined to deprive children of their sleep. Shot and originally released in the 3-D format, The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl also stars David Arquette and Kristin Davis as Max's parents, and George Lopez as a schoolteacher; writer and director Rodriguez wrote the film's story in collaboration with his then seven-year-old son, Racer Rodriguez. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

My 5 and 3.5 year olds loved this movie! It's a fantasy sci-fi for kids. It's too bad they didnt make a sequel :)

This movie was okay. But the eight year old loved it so much, I am giving it a higher review. Not really good for younger kids, but really fun for seven and up. Remeber: This is most definitly a KID movie. But watch it from that perspective, and you'll have fun!

My 5 yr old daughter LOVES this movie. This is definitely a movie for younger kids. Older kids will probably think this movie is not very good....but younger ones seem to enjoy the exciting adventures the characters go through.

The kids [ girls ] didn't like it. As a matter of fact ... they barely watched 1/2 an hour of same before getting up and walking away. Now if you have boys ... maybe they might like it. Girls .... no

I did not understand why. Yes, there is actually a planet Drool. The special effects are bad, the plot is stupid, and the acting is terrible. Other than that, great kids movie.

The special effects were awful. The story is a cheap rip off of a very good movie " The Neverending Story". Don't waste your time.
