An imaginative but shamefully unsophisticated fantasy.

This children's movie focuses on an 11-year-old (Jimmy Bennett) with multiple tormentors and a rainbow-colored rock that grants wishes. There are holes in the story that a 3-year-old could point out, the many fine grown-ups (Jon Cryer, William H. Macy, Leslie Mann, James Spader) are mostly squandered, and the "message" part of the movie for the kids seems as if it were thrown together during a school detention.

Film Reviews: More zippy, diverting fun from Robert Rodriguez's family filmmaking factory.
