This film is from the Nickelodean Movies branch of Paramount and is aimed squarely at young boys... the tale has Jesse Bradford (much more effective as Kirsten Dunst's love interest in "Bring It On") as a teenager who finds this watch that his scientist dad is working on... of course the watch sends him into "hypertime" which enables him to move really fast.. or in our case, make it seem like everyone else is either frozen or moving incredibly slow. While the visual effects team did a rather good job with the look of the "hypertime" sequences, the storyline (involving evil government agents and a "battle of the DJs" (!)) is just plain stupid with some of the most inane dialouge ever heard in a major motion picture. Bradford is terrible as well in this film, though I think it is primarily because he was made to say such awful dialouge. Paula Garces plays his love interest, a role which involves wearing skimpy outfits and speaking in a fake foreign accent. The "teenagers" in this film all appear to be in their late twenties.. further hampering the believability quotia. A misfire that only the young ones will like. GRADE: D
