The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl

2005
Dimension Films/Columbia Pictures
PG


Robert Rodriguez brings his second 3-D picture to the screen with this kiddie adventure, as bullied, tormented Max, who doodles in his journal, is brought to Planet Drool by his favorite characters Sharkboy (Taylor Lautner) and Lavagirl (Taylor Dooley), to save the planet from Mr. Electric (George Lopez) who resembles his teacher, and Minus, who resembles his school nemesis Linus.
Based on the imaginary world created by Racer Rodriguez's drawings, young viewers may marvel at the wondrous imagery, but with dialogue this contrived, redundant, and frivolous, the elders will be driven crazy by the way too familiar characters and video-game-worth special effects.
