    Flying squirrel

    This was a cute superpower story. The squirrel was cute and the actors like Ben schwartz were good.

    With Marvel and DC comics, and Marvel references. Check it out when you can

    Sarcasm hidden within a children's modern fairytale.

    Within the story structure of a romantic comedy and the thematic structure of a classic children's film this feature captures the irony and sarcasm towards both themes about as well as the original Shrek film did. To be clear, this is NOT an animated feature. Rather it is a live action film with an animated character, like Pete's Dragon. The animated character now done in CGI of course.

    Easter eggs galore for adult watchers from the Imperial March doorbell to the film opening with a collage of Marvel-Disney characters, yet a pile of DC comics being dumped on the table at some point.

    Smart well made film. Good to watch with or without kids present. As long as you are young of mind and heart. Feel good.

    fun family entertainment

    I'm a 40 year old middle aged single comic book nerd and I wish I had a fun family like Floras. This movie was not only entertaining but made me hope and wish every child had a fun adventure like this family. Floras father was absolutely amazing and every daughter should have a superhero dad like him. I was laughing and tearing up all at the same time. This is a great film for every family.

    Perfect movie for family night!

    This movie was exactly what we wanted for our movie night! We all laughed so many times and enjoyed the more sentimental moments too. Alyson Hannigan and Ben Schwartz were excellent! Matilda was such a little spit fire. All of my boys loved Benjamin Ainsworth as well. We will definitely be watching this one again!

    Nice twist for the superhero genre

    Many aspects in this movie work surprisingly well together. The performances are great and the dialogue works. It's a love letter to all the writers and comics out there. It works for the kids and is able to make a smile on the faces from the adults. The best thing is that the leading kid feels as a kid. She's smart, but not annoying.

    • Trivia
      The doorbell tone on Flora's house is the Imperial March from Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980).
    • Goofs
      While Flora is riding her bicycle through the park after selling her comic books, the camera pans down too far and shows the wheels of her bicycle are not turning even though she is peddling hard. The bicycle is mounted on a truck or trailer to allow controlled camera and mic positioning.
