    After all that glowing praise for the Rock, mow I really want to see a The Rock and Brendan Frasier team up for a sci-fi buddy-cop action-comedy. How has that not been made yet?

    @Briareosdx: You're right. There should have been 2 of those movies by now. Wisecracks, explosions, evil monster/aliens.

    I always had a crush on her, but then I am kinda in her age bracket. She was adorable in Nanny and the Professor.

    The Rock and Carla will do their best to save this. At least they'll make it tolerable for all the grownups that get dragged to it by their kids.


    Although these kid actors look way more annoying and less otherworldly than the originals.

    I love the Rock, I really do. But if this movie doesn't have strange purple light glowing out of the kids' hands, then I'll just be disappointed.

    Believe it or not, I have fond childhood memories of Escape To Witch Mountain. I would appreciate not having Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson taking a steaming runny dump all over them.

    I could just be biased here, but I think I'd rather just watch a movie of The Rock driving around stormtroopers all day.

    I realize this is setting the bar veeery low, but it appears to have a more coherent plot that the Rock's remake of Walking Tall!

    i honestly LOVED 'escape to witch mountain' as a kid and would try to make purple lights shoot out of my hands by high fiving my little sister.. never worked, but it was worth a shot.


    we still try it out occasionally - that and - whenever we both happen to be wearing rings to thrust them into the air and try to summon Captain Planet, but we're missing Water, Earth, and Wind....

    Hmmm...I just can't decide. If I think Dwayne Johnson looks like far and away the best thing about this movie, does that say something about me, about Dwayne Johnson, or about this movie?
