So, my 3 year old son just loves this movie to pieces. Not entirely sure why... probably the talking dog had something to do with it. The two new friends that boy meets in the movie are on the weird side but friendly and there's some cheesy humor in the movie. I kinda feel like there should have been more talking critters in the movie. Heck, if they'd turned all the kids into talking critters as a part of a curse that breaks when finding the hidden treasure that'd have made the movie more bareable for me to watch over and over with my kid. The cat in the beginning talks and then that character disappears, I would have liked some more chat between the dog and the cat further along in the movie. All in all, kids will dig this movie. Parents, on the other hand may want to dig a hole for this movie and never set eyes on it again.

Single mother and son about 11-12 years old move into Grandpa's house after he passes away. Son meets nerdy group of kids who are actually a lot cooler than the cool girl. They discover a secret treasure that could save the town. A couple of bumbling bad guys are also on the trail of the treasure. Think a very poor mans Home Alone with a dog. This movie is terrible. But it's also cracking my seven year old son up and I'm getting a kick out of his reaction. So if you're always looking for a "family" movie for the adults and kids, this could be a a winner in your home. That is, if you don't take your self too serious of a person. I recommend if: A- You're the cool parent (my wife would hate it) B- You're not already planning what med school your kid will attend. C- You're not a millennial. D- Not offended by the word "nerd" and the like. E- Your kids are under 10. This one's bad but somehow it's working. Cheers

Norm Macdonald is what perhaps makes this film worth the watch!! Without him, this sort of entertainment is not what it seems!
