It must take a certain kind of hubris to put your name down as the story writer for a picture like this. I'd be too embarrassed. That's because there is very little original here. You have seen this movie before - or versions of it - done much better than this. This movie might appeal to really young kids who haven't seen other, better, earlier movies that use the same oft-repeated template, but I don't think this movie is aimed at that age group.
So, a silly, derivative, unoriginal plot coupled with bad acting and annoying stereotypical characters. Sometimes, these movies redeem themselves by having talented child actors who outshine the adults and look to have a great future in the film industry. That's not the case here. Yes, the kids do outshine the adults, but that's because they get more screen time and because the adults are so bad. Hardly a compliment.
In a nutshell: save yourself some time and find something better to watch. It won't be difficult.
