Family fun
20 February 2006
This was obviously intended to be the pilot for a series geared towards under-16s. While watching it I couldn't help noticing homages to a whole slew of family-friendly action flicks. I felt as if I was on a roller-coaster watching "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider", Indiana Jones' "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Kill Bill, part 1" and the reality TV show "Beauty & the Geek" all at the same time. This is not to say that the story was not enjoyable - as a previous commenter mentions it was nice to see Bob Newhart as a Marine karate-chopping the bad guys and Jane Curtin is always worth watching.

Here's hoping they come up with a sequel.
