      Oh my God, did this S-U-C-K. But did ya know it's based on a true story? Okay, so it wasn't, but that's what kinda attracts me to these types of movies. The idea of time travel interests me, but this movie is not about time travel. And why did they titled it "Clockstoppers"? It's more like Clockspeederupers.

      This film has a great concept, but unfortunately that's all it has. Well, it also has French Stewart so that's not true, but it still sucks. The plot is terrible. The acting is worse. The writer? Non-existent...or a kindergartner. C'mon if pranks is all they can come up with if they have the ability to speed up while slowing everybody down, then they have to be five years old.

      Think I'm being too harsh? Get this. At the end when our hero saves the day, guess what his comrade (his father) says to him? "Zak, you're plan worked!" Eek! Booooriiiinnng.

      The only thing preventing me from giving this a 0 pop rating is the concept-- which is a pretty good one-- what happened to it? And French Stewart. Why did he take this role? The universe works in mysterious ways...

      So do I recommend this film? Hell no. But kids should love this...only thing, the adults taking them, will not. Best thing to do, drop your kids off at this, then go to the next screen and catch "Panic Room". Or stay with your kids and catch some zzz's.
