Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
A sequel to a 24 year old film! I'm not talking a film like 'Blade Runner'. It was considered a flop, but the concept looked good, particularly for a children's film. This is not a follow up story. Entirely a new cast and a new situation. The story of a young girl Karina, influenced by her late cop father, she's interested in fighting, solving crimes. So she frequently ends up in the principal office in her school. On one day, she comes across a cop who is trying to follow a lead to a man responsible for a series of vandals around the city. This unusual team-up, sees an unexpected success, how it all happens that you should watch it to know.The casting was decent, but the lead two guys were good. Particularly Lulu. Seems one of the future big star on making. The story, it's okayish. Predictable, but also enjoyable. Acceptable graphics, better one for television quality. There were lots of silly scenes, but overall a much entertaining film. Just a cinematic story, it does not make sense in the real world. A film that brings together kids and adults, a pure family film and a perfect weekend film. Such films do not make any harm, only you have to put aside a while your rational mind to have a good time.6.5/10
A bit shocked to watch a great actor such as Lou Diamonds Phillips in this kind of movie. To my taste it i a 4/10, I have seen much better family movies but from this point of view I would give a 5/10.It is OK overall. The drones are quite good and give an edge to the film.Lovely relationship between the two protagonists.
I was disappointed to see that there was a secret relationship with a grown man in a position of authority and a 12 year old girl, a relationship that continued through texting and sharing photos after the "case" was over. Children and adults are not friends and a 12 year old girl has no business secretly meeting up with a 50 year old man.The story line of a 12 year old girl who dreams of being a cop but is vulnerable and unsupervised by her single parent mom is not a unique one, however considering the threats to online dangers for youth I am surprised by the themes portrayed.
I found this movie in Redbox and although it's not going to win any awards, I thought it was light fun and a movie that the whole family could enjoy. Lou Diamond Phillips and Lulu Wilson are excellent in the lead roles here. Phillips portrays the veteran Detective Simmons, who doesn't have much use for the latest technologies. He'll get some help from the tech savvy 12-year-old Karina Foley whose late father was a policeman and it's a job she wants to eventually hold. By circumstance, they'll work together on a case where someone is pulling pranks at one municipal venue after another, threatening the town's popular annual festival. The quirky characters in the supporting cast add well to mix here also.All in all, this comedy is a diversion from heavy dramas or action flicks, and surprisingly I found myself laughing quite a lot and enjoying the movie.
