i just saw the English edition. i was greatly disappointed! the book series was based on the honesty and credibility of young teens from the 80's. the movie has taken so many creative liberties it hurts! Jupiter Jones is supposed to be super smart, a little heavy, and the leader. to make matters worse Jupiter is aggressive when dealing with adults, in the books he is polite and considerate. in the movie he is just a quiet boy that may or may not lead the team. the other 2 boys are worse! the movie starts with Mr. Crenshaw picking up the team from the airport, but the book has them kidnapped and marooned on an island. its not a theme park they are building its a movie they are making. in the book Chris is a boy, in the movie Chris is a girl. because they changed the sex of Chris they added in a romance between the 3 boys. in the books the boys were not old enough to care about girls. they even changed the missing treasure from lost golden doubloons to a silver crown.
on the whole the movie is worth watching if you don't know the back story. if you have ever read the books you will be greatly disappointed in the movie. it is rated PG.
