This movie is for kids.....However, it is completely full of stereotypes. And the main character "Charlie" is completely demasculinized....his voice is even very much like that of a girl. The girls, of course, are the smart ones who figure everything out and are very much alpha male.
The story, which could have been really well written, instead portrays a superior "alien" technological secret headquarters that is accessed by clicking hanging metal balls together and then only needs a pass code to enter on a punchpad......allowing anyone who figures that out to enter the "secret headquarters? Really? How did it possibly remain secret for 10 years?
Owen Wilson, who I really like......plays Owen Wilson......can he act like a "character". I guess not. The Owen Wilson charm is worn completely thin on this film.
If you are looking for another Superhero movie to watch (like there aren't enough of them) with lots of CGI that is brainless and full of the same ol same ol stereotypical characters and scenarios and can entertain your kids....maybe this would be for them.....
