Thoroughly enjoyable as a kids flick with some very adult content as well. Some scenes had me audibly chuckling, and some had me startled in my seat. One scene in particular was as good an action scene as I've seen in a long time.

JJ really brought the heart to this film.

The kids were incredibly cast and their chemistry was fantastic.

The main kid, the chubster, and Elle Fanning were all excellent with some notably good performances from the rest of the kids.

Mr. Early Edition was solid with a smaller part than I'd anticipated.

Overall, it's beautifully shot and anyone who grew up on 70's/80's/90's kids adventure flicks is gonna have a great time.
