The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3-D

Time Out says
Unless your idea of family fun is watching countless chunks of goop being blown
toward you amid acid-soaked Nickelodeon landscapes, Robert Rodriguez's second
attempt to resurrect this anachronistic ballyhoo gimmick will seem just as
misguided as his first (remember the franchise low point, Spy Kids 3-D: Game
Over?). It doesn't help that the director embeds cut-rate comin'-at-ya tricks
in a cloying narrative about an unpopular lad (Boyd) whose dreams of two
prepubescent superheroes become an enabling reality. Rodriguez has proved in the
past that he's got a knack for crafting imaginative children's movies, which is
why this sugarcoated collection of platitudes—"Kids need their dreams!"—seems
more than a baby step backward.
