Editorial Review:
Another family adventure from the hit-making director of SPY KIDS(TM), THE ADVENTURES OF SHARKBOY AND LAVAGIRL is nonstop fun and stars Hollywood favorites David Arquette, Kristin Davis, and George Lopez. Everyone always knew that Max had a wild imagination ... but no one believed that his wildest creations -- a boy raised by watchful great white sharks and a girl with the force of a volcano -- were real! Now, these two pint-sized action masters will show Max that even an ordinary kid has what it takes to be extraordinary! Bursting with cool, eye-popping 3-D special effects -- even the smallest dreamers can become the biggest heroes in this entertaining motion picture!
Description of The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D also includes 2d version:
Writer/director/editor/special-effects-supervisor Robert Rodriguez (Spy Kids, Desperado) continues to storm the movie world with The Adventures of SharkBoy and LavaGirl in 3-D. A young boy named Max (Cayden Boyd) finds the real world crashing into his dreams: His parents fight, bullies harrass him at school, and his teacher advises him to get a grip on reality. But Max's faith in his fantasies is so strong that his superheroic creations SharkBoy (Taylor Lautner) and LavaGirl (Taylor Dooley) crash into Max's classroom and take him off to rescue the fantastic planet he dreamed up. Towards the end, SharkBoy and LavaGirl crumbles with clumsy story gaps and bland moral advice, but most of the movie explodes with visual invention. A clockwork villain with electrical limbs commands an army of extension-cord snakes; SharkBoy uses his claws to engrave a diagram of the solar system into a chalkboard; LavaGirl's burning feet melt an ice bridge as she runs across it. It's disappointing that Rodriguez's storytelling flounders, but sections of deliciously fluid movie-making make The Adventures of SharkBoy and LavaGirl in 3-D worth seeing nonetheless. Also featuring David Arquette (Eight Legged Freaks), Kristin Davis (Sex in the City), and George Lopez (Real Women Have Curves). --Bret Fetzer

A really good movie. 
2009-11-30 - My 6 year old grandson enjoyed this movie a lot - particularly the dream world. We didn't have much success watching the 3D version, but don't really see much difference between that and the regular version.
Great Service
2009-11-30 - I ordered this video for my grandson and it arrived in a very timely manner. He enjoys it very much and has watched it over and over again.
GREAT movie for kids and the 3D effects are fun!
2009-11-01 - Well, the Grandparents REALLY don't get it, BUT, my kiddo's love the movie...and the 3D glasses and the whole "experience" of watching with the glasses at home is like being at the movies. Robert Rodriguez's style isn't for everyone, but all the kids I know absolutely LOVE it! It just LOOKS differnt than most movies and the hero's are nice likable kids like in RR's other films (like the Spy Kids films). If your kids have outgrown the disney flicks geared to the really young ones and girls....this movie is great for boys and girls... We love it
Trash... 
2009-10-30 - Seriously, how much 3D & special effects can you hide in a movie to try to make it better? This movie is nothing but that and its complete garbage and my DVD didn't even come with glasses, we had to buy some.
Excellent Service!!
2009-10-22 - My daughter loves this movie. Service was excellent. Received the video in perfect condition in a timely manner!!! Thank you!
