I hope the actors and the director, etc. read this: Thank you for making such an amazing movie! It was so tender-hearted and sweet and I just loved the relationships the main character had with his family. Character development! I thought it was a lost art in Hollywood! And oh my goodness, the last 20 minutes or so I was trying so hard to choke down actual sobbing. I get teary in movies sometimes, but this was a full out breaking of the heart. I was still crying on my way into the lobby on the way out. I'm still thinking about this movie. I'm still thinking about what Tim was saying at the end, about living in every day, in the present moment, trying not to miss anything. I'm telling everyone to see this movie. It was SO GREAT! Thank you!

Race to Witch Mountain
(2009)
Boring, stiff and rushed
5 May 2009
I gave this movie three stars for the three things I liked about it. Seeing Tia all grown up. Seeing Tony all grown up. Seeing the reporter in the beginning, thinking she looked familiar, and then she said, "This is Natalie Gann, reporting for (such and such).." It was Meredith Salenger, title character from the 80's movie "The Journey of Natty Gann"...one of the best Disney movies ever. That was really fun and unexpected for me, who loved that movie so much. Those three appearances were there only thing I liked about this movie. My kids thought it was "OK." Wish I had saved my small fortune to take my family of 6 and waited for the DVD. This movie had no emotion, no heart. Do your kids a favor and rent or buy the original "Escape to Witch Mountain." It's a hundred times better. In the original, the alien children had powers but acted human, I grew to care about them, I felt for the old man who helped them, he had emotion, he was believable as a crusty old man whose heart was softened as he helped the kids. By the end you will care about them. In this movie you won't. The special effects in this movie of course surpass those in the original by far- but it had NO HEART.
