Imagination and quality! I enjoyed screening this DVD. It is a rare example of wholesome entertainment, fine acting, and a good story to boot.
Matty Hanson’s dad was a genius. Matty is a genius. You could say it runs in the family. Matty works on an invisible ray and other top secret projects in a university research lab. He gets lonely but then meets a girl named Alice and they become fast friends. Matty tries to help Alice piece together her past which includes several moves and her parents acting a bit strange at times. When Alice discovers a milk carton from years before with what looks like a photo of her when she was younger, and it is a missing children’s advertisement, she becomes super concerned. The name on the carton is Sarah. Is that her real name? Matty has a mystery of his own to solve. He suspects that his dad’s death in an automobile crash was no accident. When Matty gets help from his Uncle Cutter, he gets closer to the truth but closer to danger as well.
This rollicking adventure is one which kids will enjoy and the family dynamics of the film will please parents as well. We suggest both parents and kids enjoy this one together. This earns our Dove Family-Approved Seal for ages twelve plus, due to some brief strong language. Parents should consult our content listing and they may feel comfortable with their younger mature children watching this fast-paced adventure with them. It features great themes of friendship and searching for the truth.
