🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Peter Hewitt manages a surprising tonal balance, grounding an absurd premise in a genuinely sweet coming-of-age story. The film sidesteps mere crudeness, using its central conceit as a metaphor for adolescent awkwardness.
It works best as a family watch with kids over ten. Viewers will smile at the naive charm of the protagonist and his bond with an inventor friend. — MovieFinder Editorial
