      Reunites Josh Duhamel and Megan Fox after appearing together in the Transformers franchise.
    • Goofs
      The Global Cyber Protection Agency fears a "collapse of the banking industry and loss of cell service nationwide" and they send only two agents to investigate...by car. It takes them at least two days to arrive at Ollie's house. Seems like a lackluster effort considering the stakes.

    For adults watching this movie with your kids...
    OK, it's a kids' movie, so kids will probably like it much more than I did.

    My initial expectations had to be lowered significantly as the movie progressed. If you actively engage in a willing suspension of disbelief it will help. The movie is average, but in many places tries too hard to be something more. And the pace reminded me of someone trying to drive a stick shift for the first time.

    The plot is one that has been used before in some form or another: talking dog as a result of a science experiment gone awry; greedy bad guy tries to steal the technology; you know the rest -- no need for spoilers here.

    If you tend to easily spot plot holes, or cheesy gimmicks, you will be kept painfully busy. The happy ending, in addition to being predictable, was less than satisfying.

    If you're able to put all of the adult thinking aside for 90 minutes, you might actually enjoy the movie.
