Great movie for kids 4 and up
The main aspect of the movie to me is the simple humor of it all, and any negative reviewer is nuts. This movie was realesed when I was 4 (2005), and Mercurybabe, you are NUTS! DEAD NUTS!

Great Family Movie!
I've loved this movie since it came out! When I was like, five, I would where this shark fin on my back and say "Look Daddy! I'm Sharkboy!" And I'd run around the house. It's a great family movie, even without the 3-D, but the 3-D DVD is SOOOO much better then without 3-D. It makes it feel like you're really traviling with Sharkboy, Max, and Lavagirl everywhere they go in the movie!

A great film for younger kids
I loved this film when I was younger. I think younger kids will like it, but older kids won't.

Thanks to the lousy 3-D, Sharkboy and Lavagirl can't get any worse!
I can't even review this movie seriously because it was so stupid. I'll try my best, but it won't make a whole lot of sense. Okay so the story is lousy. It's about a boy who somehow has the ability to make his dreams come to life. Well, he doesn't make them come to life but once he has a dream about a boy who can talk to sharks and a girl who fights with lava (or something werid like that). So then there is this big battle against this machine guy and they save the day. The 3-D, as mentioned stinks, the acting is horrible, and the movie is just plain dumb. One of the worst ever. There is also a lot of fart jokes, like "brain fart" and a use of the word flatulate. No language, some scary scenes, and a few mild kisses. Don't watch this movie.

Tedious, but cute
Once upon a time, there was a movie with a hastily thrown together storyline, obnoxious songs, ridiculous costumes, and cruddy animation. The end. Good golly. Why do people even watch this thing? It's certainly not for the production values- with a cast of almost all kids and George Lopez, everyone's either overacting or gazing off into the distance with a deer-in-headlights look. It also relies heavily on cheap 3D gimmicks and computer animation, both of which are now hopelessly outdated. The plot is also a little fishy- once Max and his (imaginary?) friends reach Planet Drool, the rest of the movie is scene after scene of tedious expository dialouge, with the occasional cheesy tune or action shot thrown in. Despite its flaws, The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl is really a cute (albeit rather obnoxious) movie about following your dreams. It's worth a peek- not in 3D- and maybe a repeat viewing or two.

Waste of time and money
It is a really boring, pointless movie. Don't buy it, because you'll regret it. When it even pops into my mind, I think of it as one of the most annoying movies of all time. It's one of the movies you come back to later thinking, "Why did I ever watch this?"

The worst movie ever to be made it 3D! The only failure... sad.. :( lol
Ha ha i was laughing throughout this whole movie! And not because it was funny.. It was so terrible and dumb. "Let's go to the land of milk and cookies!" I mean, What the heck! You should probably see it to laugh at the bad plot, terrible acting, horrible script, worst special effects ever, corny violence, and again, bad acting.

Ridiculously Stupid, little kids will like it.
This movie is really dumb. Older kids will be laughing at how ridiculous it is. Expect some very mild action.

Good kids movie. Not really for tweens. 8 and under
Not great, but it was made by a kid, so you gotta keep that in mind. Had some mild violence, and rude humor, but nothing sexual. Shark boy and Lavagirl kind of like eachother, but they don't kiss or anything. It's actually about dreams, which is something I find interesting. I love dreams XD

If Satan made a movie...
Imagine yourself vomiting acidic blood... that is on fire. Inside a vacuum chamber. Imagine you are doing this while watching Susan Boyle belly dancing right in front of you, which is probably why you're vomiting blood in the first place. Now, you're doing all of this while the Transylvania Porcupine Dance Crew is doing their act on your back. While doing all of this, you're contracting leprosy, polio, swine flu, AIDS, cancer of the lungs, brain, throat, breast, kidney and stomach, and hemophilia (I forgot to mention, you're kneeling on spikes). All in all, you're in a lot of pain. So much pain, you wish you could just die and end it all. Still, this pain is nothing compared to having to sit through this whole movie. Terrible acting, terrible jokes, terrible effects, and terrible viewers. Every one of them makes me want to vomit blood. Don't watch this unless you have a death wish.

Definately Fine for the PG Range
There is a little bit of action violence throughout, but it is definately fine for the PG range. There's nothing much that's too "vulgar" for any kid under 4.
