Can't believe how funny and likeable this film was. My kids and I loved watching it and was surprised at the stellar cast. Does anyone know how old Scarlett Johannsen is in this movie?? Much funnier as it goes along, total reccomendation! Dads will like it too ( for Eva! )

There was too much language in this movie for this to be targeted at kids. It was far too silly to be targeted at adults. So, this movie left me wondering who Hollywood was targeting with this movie (if you can call it that). This movie had some of the worst acting I've seen in a long time. And, the butcher chasing children with a meat cleaver felt like it belonged more in a horror movie. The crystals that turned the boy into a pig worked fine during the day at first, but it took proper alignment of the moon and a million other obstacles to get him changed back. That was a little far fetched for me. So, please don't show this movie to your kids. This is a "must skip" movie.

Too much language for kids. I especially disliked the that it came from one of the child actors. Sets a terrible exapmle for the kids. Utterly boring for an adult. Not worth the time.
