Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Simon Peters Poor casting, intermittent periods where the film treads water with overlong pictures of the scenery, and a lack of anyone in the cast to empathise with, render this a dreary experience. Edited with no sense of timing and with unmemorable music laid on with a trowel, the performances are unable to engage or sustain one's attention. The biggest drawback is that there is nobody one likes - the hero is the American equivalent of a shop dummy in a Cecil Gee window, the son is blank faced except when he is petulant. Custer is inscrutable and a boring character. The villains are cardboard cutouts, and the mad woman of the hills is alarming and repellent.Custer's daughter is the only bright spark in the film, and acts everyone else off the screen, not that that was hard to do.The Henson Creature Shop shut up shop in London shortly after this film was made; maybe they had lost heart when they saw it.One to miss.

Life777 The premise of Mac Campbell's character is based on a neglected child who has lost his mother recently. His dad (Bruce Greenwood) has unintentionally ignored his son by burying himself in work after his wife died and has decided to make it up to Mac by taking him to a theme park. The boy is devastated to find out that his dad's plans have changed as a result of an emergency trip to Canada. Mac, played by Daniel Magder plays an angry, somewhat stoic, curious, brave yet emotional young man. I believe he pulled it off beautifully. In fact he adds a touch of humor to his character in a non funny situation when speaking under his breath about Pawnee, his new found friend. My kids have seen him in "Life with Derek" as "Edwin" and he portrays a totally different type of character showing his versatility. (They've coaxed me into watching a few episodes).Mee-She The Water Giant is great for kids but I think it could have been simplified for the benefit of the younger viewers. That being said, I recommend renting it or purchasing the film. I purchased the film and my kids have seen it many times.

1negevoli I enjoyed Mee-Shee, except when the lame and talentless child actor called it Mishee. You'd think he'd be able to pronounce the name of the movie correctly but, honestly, he is so bad maybe that's not something he can do. Loved Bruce Greenwood, as always. And as usual, he it too good for the material and his poker-faced co-star.(The New Zealand scenery, filling in for Canada, makes me crazy to want to go there.)Whenever I see a child actor this bad I always wonder which of the producers he belongs to. The kid never changed expression, even when facing down a water "monster," as far as he knows.I really recommend everybody see this film just so they can catch probably the worst child actor ever. The little dude didn't even try.This could have been much better without the kid who played the kid.

dbborroughs Young boy who was suppose to go on vacation with his dad finds that his plans are changed when his dad's business send them to a remote Canadian lake where a helicopter crashed. Once there he's left to his own devices as his dad tries to recover the chopper and what it was carrying. In the process he discovers the tales of a monster living in the lake are true.Sweet family film with a creature by the Henson Creature Shop. I'm guessing that most adults are going to find this a quaint little film thats very much like the films they saw growing up. I'll also wager that most young kids are going to eat this up, which isn't surprising since this is actually a pretty good movie that, while probably not memorable, isn't something that you're going to go wandering off while its on. Yea, its a movie that both kids and parents are going to enjoy.I liked it and can honestly say that if you end up seeing it you'll probably like it too.
