Editorial Reviews

The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl is the latest fantasy adventure from Robert Rodriguez, creator of the Spy Kids franchise, who directs with his virtuositic zest and fills the screen with eye-popping visual effects. Cayden Boyd portrays Max, a lonely ten-year-old who is bullied at school, and whose bickering parents (David Arquette and Kristen Davis) are "not on the same page." Max keeps a dream journal that charts the adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl -- tales his classmates ridicule. Imagine Max's astonishment when an Oz-like whirlwind delivers Sharkboy and Lavagirl to his classroom, bringing with them a message that will be irresistible to all young dreamers: "We need your help. Come with us." It's off to Planet Drool, where Max's dreams and imagination hold the key to saving the wonderland from being plunged into darkness. The state-of-the-retro-art 3-D effects add some pop to the juvenile story (conceived by Rodriguez's then seven-year-old son, who gets a co-screenwriting credit, and who has a small role besides). While the moral about the power of dreams may be obvious, the movie itself is unceasingly inventive (among Planet Drool's features are a Stream of Consciousness and a Train of Thought). Although George Lopez has a somewhat confusing dual role as Max's compassionate teacher, Mr. Electricidad, and as Mr. Electric, a bad guy on Planet Drool -- and the glowering Sharkboy and Lavagirl are nowhere near as likable and fun as Spy Kids' Juni and Carmen -- youngsters will be carried away by this high-spirited odyssey and by Max's heroic transformation.
