Everything about this "Race" comes off as a cheap also-ran, with little of that ol' Disney magic anywhere to be found.

I think most kids and certainly most adults are going to find themselves bored.

Race to Witch Mountain is the first kids' film in ages to have action beats that measure up to Hollywood's grownup action fare.

Boring and unoriginal, this new version might have some fancy visuals and a loud soundtrack but they're just a smokescreen for how boring and lifeless the film is.

A reasonably satisfying family film that updates things while staying true to the adventurous, sci-fi spirit of the originals.

Race to Witch Mountain is pretty standard kiddie fare: Cute, precocious children are protected by a world-weary, wisecracking father figure and one-liners abound.

It's pacy all right, but glib and uninvolving for grown-ups, though perhaps furnished with enough in the way of spaceships, lasers and digital explosions to pacify undemanding little 'uns of an afternoon.

While it's hardly genre-changing, this is a nice dose of fun, family entertainment.
