Summary - Pretty Bad 1.5
The Smithsonian treasure trove as raw material, yet this movie can’t find a decent laugh in the whole darn museum. Not a complete disaster though: It’s rather genial and may – if you’re lucky – cause the kids in your care to ask a question about Teddy Roosevelt or Amelia Earhart or someone important.
OK, maybe not. Did I mention the geniality?
FX heavy kid’s comedies don’t need to be lame. For instance, G-Force delivers plenty of laughs and thrills in a smart, hip package. Imagine what those guinea pigs could do if they had access to the Smithsonian…
