Zoom, 2006

Not really worth the rent. It's a rip-off of the much superior Sky High at best. You can tell the (adult) actors were bored with the script and acted appropriately. I think that only kids younger than twelve would get anything out of this. The production values are okay but it's just a juvenile movie that is ripping off aforementioned Sky High by and large. I'm also not sure that I would want my children watching this because of the message it might send to younger kids. Tim Allen's character is kind of disaffected, nihilistic, selfish and even childish. Granted he does turn around by the end of the film but I think that it sends a wrong message, as does the fact that the parents would willingly send off their children to the military facility (masquerading as an Academy) because they were "different". It's just a mess, really, and not worth the time. Go rent Sky High. It's a better film, with a better script, better acting and is ultimately carries both more fun and a better message to kids.
