pmichener1954 I read other reviews about bad acting. Forget it. Young people cutting their teeth on their early roles. Brit Robertson has done many fine projects since, including a very fine performance in Disney's Avalon High, Relax and watch this movie for what it is, light family entertainment,

sajeffre The acting in this movie was like lead and some of the worst I have seen. Not just the kids, but the adults as well.I know this is a kid's movie, but even my imaginary play was more creative than this.The script is awful, the acting worse, every "twist" is expected, and there is really no suspense at all.The animated movies we watch with my son are so much better in script etc. Perhaps not the worst movie ever, but pretty close.The characters are too "obvious" and the concept is no better than the imaginary play that I used to engage in as a child.

bazanar i have seen this movie and really sucks big time, not only the child acting also the adults are so fake that u can't imagine. Not even good for kids, maybe up to 4 year old. The plot, the story, the script, the acting OMG i can't believe. This doesn't rate even for Z category.

idonotexist **some spoilers but you really have nothing to spoil**This has to be some of the worst acting i have seen in a very long time. It's bland, non inspirated, and frankly, nobody is even trying. That said, this movie goes all over the place. For a ghost story it throws in debt, corporate management, struggling parents, small town buy out, you name it. So at the end of the day, the kids save the day by raising 300k, which their mom owes the IRS so she won't have to sell the shop to the corporate suits which want to build something in its place. Even for a kids movie, it's stupid, and even my girlfriend's 6 year old sister didn't laugh... which is why i was watching this in the first place.
