    I can't believe what I just watched
    Honestly! Who makes these awful kids movies and why? Who writes the lame scripts and where do they dig up these atrocious actors? And why are there SO many of these things?? I am gobsmacked. Kids between 5 and 10 might find this movie acceptable but really, why subject your children to stuff like this when there are so many quality children's movies available?

    A young boy and his sister are at what seems to be the most poorly attended museum in the USA when they are unexpectedly sucked in to a painting on the wall (don't you just hate it when things like that happen?) and find themselves hundred of years in the past. As you may imagine, this puts quite a dampener on their day. All is not lost though because, armed with his trusty roller blades and aided by a wisecracking magician with rejection issues, young Ben sets out to find the magical Jewel of Polaris - a big, green piece of plastic that looks like it was purchased in a dollar store. This magical piece of plastic will allow them to travel home. Ben is further assisted by his youngest sister, who is still back in the present, in the almost empty museum. She and Ben are in contact via walkie talkie (I kid you not). Who knew radio waves could penetrate the time barrier and also travel through paintings? Not me.

    Will Ben find the gem? Will he defeat the baddies? Will he and his sister get back home? Will anyone whose age is in double digits manage to make it to the end of this crap? All will be revealed by the movies' end.
