So dream a better dream; then work to make it real. 
2008-10-09
2005's children flick Sharkboy and Lavagirl is the creative and lovable tale of a young boy Max(Cayden Boyd) who's having a little trouble fitting in at school thanks to his dream journal and possibly imaginary friends Sharkboy(Taylor Lautner) and Lavagirl(Taylor Dooley).
When Sharkboy and Lavagirl come to ask for Max's help to save the planet he created and their home, planet drool will Max be able to help? Especially since his dream journal has been stolen by the class bully Linus(Jacob Davich).
The dvd does not come with the 3d glasses, atleast mine didn't, but you can watch it in 2d as well which is just as enjoyable. (And doesn't leave you with a headache!)
All the child actors are enjoyable and the plot is fun, filled with plays on words and different takes on famous children's rhymes and analogies.
George Lopez is entertaining as the intimidating Mr. Electric, an evil villain on planet drool and Max's school teacher back home on planet earth.
I also really enjoyed the making of feature that tells us a lot about Robert Rodriguez's processes in creating and really bringing Sharkboy and Lavagirl to life. It's admirable to see someone really helping to cultivate their children's creative side, especially when there is such opportunity.
As much as I didn't want to, I can't say I didn't enjoy it.... more then once.
No 3D glasses included

This is a great movie the one thing you should be aware of is that it does not come with the 3D glasses and you have to have specific glasses for the movie which they do give you the phone number to order them but my son was disappointed when the movie came and then had wait to see it in 3d and was a hassell for me as well.
My kids love this movie!

Every time they watch it they are absolutely glued to the screen, as if they are seeing it for the first time! They are 5 and 7 years old. I must say, its got some really funny lines in it! I find myself stopping what Im doing to watch it too!
The movie I wish they had made when I was a kid. 2008-05-28
Let me begin by saying that as a rule, I don't usually support movies that portray kids in the savior role. I object to this mainly because I believe we, as a society, have elevated kids above their status by our constant portrayal of children as wiser, smarter and more cleaver than adults. By letting them constantly view children in this role, is it any wonder that so many kids have no respect for adults. I realize there are some adults that are not worthy of any respect... but now I am wandering off topic. Although Sharkboy and LavaGirl's hero is a small boy, he still remains respectful of adults in the real world. This is why I fully support this film.
As a child I was the ultimate "Day Dreamer" (Max's title on the Dream World). I walked around in my own little world most of the time. As a result I was called numerous unflattering names: Dingbat, AirHead and Breezy, just name a few. This resulted in a low self-esteem that took years to overcome. Max helps us see that an imagination may be something that will come in handy and may even be something to be admired even though many see it as an excuse for name calling.
The only thing that keeps this from being a Five Star is that in the end the kid is the only one smart enough to save the world: once again adults are portrayed as incapable, but at least the kid still remains respectful to authority figures.

My nephew has watched this many times. There's just enough action to keep his interest. The 3-D glasses are a very neat option and if you don't want that version, you can change it to "normal" viewing. The characters are very cool and it's easy to follow.

Another family adventure from the hit-making director of SPY KIDS(TM), THE ADVENTURES OF SHARKBOY AND LAVAGIRL is nonstop fun and stars Hollywood favorites David Arquette, Kristin Davis, and George Lopez. Everyone always knew that Max had a wild imagination ... but no one believed that his wildest creations -- a boy raised by watchful great white sharks and a girl with the force of a volcano -- were real! Now, these two pint-sized action masters will show Max that even an ordinary kid has what it takes to be extraordinary! Bursting with cool, eye-popping 3-D special effects -- even the smallest dreamers can become the biggest heroes in this entertaining motion picture!
My 4 year old just LOVES it! 2008-03-07
What more can I say? I enjoyed it also which I guess is saying alot sinse it is clearly not targeting my age group. Good clean film with no potty humour ,with the possible exception to a reference to "brain fart" which was actually kinda funny. Its really hard to find great films for kids that don't contain some bad language and/or crude humour, sexual enuendos and the like. Adding those type of things cannot make up for a bad story, but it sure can ruin a good story! Happily, one great movie for kids I don't have to sit there with the remote to fast forward through akward parts!!

My daughters had seen the movie before. I had only caught bits it of just passing by the tv. My daughter specifically asked for this movie. She loves this movie. She will watch it over and over all day long if I let her. So if I want some peice and quiet I know what do. Play the movie. It is an adult friendly; I didn't have to make myself sit through a kid movie. I could watch it again. My daughter loves it and that is all that really matters to me. It was worth every cent. And if she loses it or breaks it or something I will be buying another one.
