Race to Witch Mountain

Actors: Dwayne Johnson, Carla Gugino, AnnaSophia Robb, Alexander Ludwig, Ciarán Hinds

by Christine

I don't remember the original movie very well but I do know I liked it. This version is very high tech and for the first fifteen minutes I had no idea what was happening. Eventually, it becomes clear that the Rock is some kind of ex-con loser with a big heart. The kids are aliens, but look like the kids next door. (The girl is from one of our favorite films, "Because of Winn Dixie.") It 's appropriate for 8+ as long as they don't get scared easily. My daughter was scared there were going to die, but of course, they don't. It was a great babysitter for me (my kids watched it twice) and I even enjoyed it. It's funny how The Rock has transformed himself into the new Disney star. Makes me think of my old Disney heart throb, Kurt Russell. Buy or rent it for family movie night or a lazy weekend.

My Review Caterina, age 8

I thought it was good. I don't know why they call it "Witch Mountain" It might be because it is a scary mountain or they don't know witch mountain to race to. I would give it 10 stars.

My Review Sara Jeanne, age 7
