Not saying 0 stars; just can't put stars on a really young kids' film, being a senior. A friend and I watched it 1) because we were eating and bored and had no idea, and 2) the title reminded of D. A. R. Y. L. - a good flick - and we just didn't turn it off, that's all...
Having said that, it should be understood that a film presented in this fashion is deliberate. The people involved are not bloomin' idiots. They wanted it whimsical, goofy, campy, loosely acted. And it is. Because it is for really young folks. Ie, a 3-5 yr old would have liked it more than ET because ET isn't for that age group; it's an older kids' film for adults too, and this is not. But if your little one is with you and they liked it, the film makers did their job.
I looked at the "awards" it got tho, and those all looked suspicious. And strange it was that all the production people/studios were mentioned for every "award" won by an individual. Rather dubious.
