This movie is pretty cute, especially for children.  Of course it is far fetched, unrealistic and the pranks in the movie are just down right dangerous.  Some parents may want to caution against some aspects of the movie because if children tried to employ the pranks, shown in this film, in real life, the results would more than likely be catastrophic.  But of course this is a family movie, so ultimately nothing bad happens.  Also, because movies are fiction, many of them tend to have some element of un-realism and exaggeration.  Also, the movie contains underlying themes of friendship and perseverance, which are quite positive attributes.

Again, this is a film more appealing to children.  However, fellow Generation Xer's, like myself, are likely to get a kick out of seeing Joe Piscopo from previous SNL shows, and Julie Hagerty of Airplane!
