Hollywood hucksters, zap them, have borrowed from Japanese game-pushers in this shameless attempt to sucker America's children. Full Review

Rating: 1/4 -- The runaways' actions provide anything but responsible models for the children who make up the film's target audience, and the likable cast flails against the rampant idiocy and gross commercialism. Full Review

Rating: 1/4 -- It was only after the three kids arrived safely at the championships that I began to question the ethics of the film, which is, among other things, a thinly disguised commercial for Nintendo video games and the Universal studio tour. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- Video-addicted kids may well find this exciting, but for anyone old enough to stay out later than 9 P.M. it's a distinct bore.
