His eponymous company FireBrand is nearing completion on its greatest achievement to date - the tallest skyscraper in the northern hemisphere.

My girlfriend made sad faces at me until I agreed to go and see this with her today. And the movie is much, much better than I had anticipated from the trailers and promos I had seen (read: been shown against my will). I went in with a bad attitude and was pleasantly surprised. Some cheap CGI is to be expected, but doesn't ruin the movie.
THE TRAILERS DO A TERRIBLE JOB OF ADVERTISING THE STRENGTHS OF THE FILM.
It's a surprisingly mature and well-developed plot, and doesn't dwell too long on either the sappy bits or the humor. It is very plot-driven, and has nicely well-developed main characters (except the cartoonish villain). All of the movie both makes sense and flows very well. I rather liked Mr Spacey's character arc over the course of the movie, just the right amount of jerk at the beginning, and not too much lovey-dovey at the end. Mr Amell does a very good job as an aspiring businessman & under-appreciated son, though again the villain he plays against is weak. Ms Weissman plays a solid rich-kid middleschooler, though I suspect the part was intended to be a younger child. And most importantly, Christopher Walken's character was NOT overused or trite like the previews suggested. Unfortunately, there were some 'love or not' fakeouts with Ms Garner, but oh well.
When you size it up against the in-genre competition, it frankly blows it all away. Not necessarily a 'children's movie' like you might expect, and worth the price of admission.
My girlfriend would like to add that the 'celebrity cat cameos' are too short, which seems like a good thing to me.
