"Matinee" could have been one of those movies you really loved when you were a kid but still like them as an adult. But it fails to do so as it turns into one big cliche in the end and the final result was just another kid movie. Nice acting, nice music, nice story (but only till the end "climax"), and some nice scenes(especially the ones in school) that really made the movie enjoyable. Too bad the ending spoils it. The bad guy (basically your average rock-a-billy pedofile) goes to jail, the kids are saved, the good guys get rich, bla bla bla. Despite starting off very promising this movie just turns too Hollywood-ish in the end. Could have been up there with "Goonies" and "Flight of the navigator". 6/10
