It's an animated dinosaur movie! With kids who travel back in time! Here's the scoop: When Ernie (voiced by Pamela Adlon) isn't hanging out with his best friend Max (Yuri Lowenthal), he's blasting around town on his rocket powered skateboard. One day while marveling at Max's dad's time machine, the boys are surprised by Ernie's sister Julia (Tara Strong), and soon the trio are transported back in time straight into the nest of a dinosaur mom named Tyra (Melanie Griffith), who adopts them while they try to get back home. Rob Schneider voices Tyra's hyperactive son Dodger, and William and Stephen Baldwin play scheming dinosaurs. Cute for little ones, and we'll take Melanie Griffith on the big screen in any form.
Glee's Chris Colfer moves to the big screen in this movie which he wrote, executive produced and also stars in. He plays Carson Phillips, a high school senior who's destined for bigger things than his close-minded small town could ever offer. But his path to greatness is cut short when he's suddenly killed by a bolt of lightning in his school parking lot. Demonstrating that life really IS what happens while you're busy planning your future, Carson recounts the last few weeks of his life via witty, insightful flashbacks, including a blackmail scheme targeting the popular kids in school that he concocts with his best friend (Rebel Wilson), and a home life that includes his mom (Allison Janney) and estranged dad (Dermot Mulroney), who suddenly appears with his pregnant fiancée (Christina Hendricks). Think Perks of Being a Wallflower vibe.
The classic Brothers Grimm fairytale gets a reboot with this movie where the kids kick it up a notch. Instead of merely outsmarting a cannibalistic old witch, now they're grown-up bounty hunters with serious weapons who track and kill witches from around the globe. Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton play the now-adult kids, with Famke Janssen and Peter Stormare co-starring. It's an interesting combo because you've got Will Ferrell's Gary Sanchez Productions producing and Dead Snow's Tommy Wirkola directing. If you like zombie movies, you need to see Dead Snow. Not for kids, though.
