I used to love sitting in front of the TV as a child and watch the Scooby Doo cartoons. Hoping that this movie might be successful where other cartoon remakes have failed (Josie, Dudley Do Right, Howard the Duck, Rocky & Bullwinkle), it wasn't.
This is the worst movie I have seen all summer. If you want to take your kids to a good movie, take them to see Lilo and Stitch or the upcoming Spy Kids 2. I am willing to bet that not only will they enjoy these movies more, you will too.
So why do I think it is so bad??? A lot of people have been bashing the actors. I think they probably did the best they could with a lousy script and directing. The CGI was horrible. I found myself so bored with this movie that all I could do was sit and find flaws to keep myself entertained. Daphne's feet disappear into a CGI floor during one of the scenes. In another scene she is running up a flight of stairs in tennis shoes and when she jumps down she is in go-go boots. How can you miss things like this?
Many of the scenes are pointless and just filler (the fart contest, Sugar Ray, etc). This movie could have been 30 minutes long and you would get just as much out of it, if not more.
People have said "Watch it for what it is or don't go in with high expectations". When people spend anywhere from $7 - $12 to see a 90 million dollar film - their expectations should be high. If you take the family, it will cost $30 - $40 with tickets and popcorn. So take my advice - if you really want to see this, wait till it's on video. Save your money for something worthwhile.
