Interesteg What makes it different from others?
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
abbalobo This film genre was family & mystery, but what mystery? Overall the movie was very bad movie. When you see it's trailer, you may think it's a good movie for the family. You wrong, it's bad movie. Maybe the plot was not so bad but almost all the actor was so bad. It's very bad acting compare to some bad movie I've ever watch. All of the actor acting bad. Susan Sarandon (detective Dottie) is a good actress but in this movie she is nothing. Ripley Sobo (Olivia), maybe need a lot of time to learn to be a good actress, she had the time, I hope she will be. Aaron Sauter (Miles) was so bad, I don't think he is an actor. And all the rest was actor and actress was so bad. So with more professional actor, maybe it will be a good family movie.
bmossynotbossy I took my son and daughter to see the film at Lefont this past weekend. We heard that the director would be in town talking about the movie. My family took a trip to NYC last summer and my daughter BEGGED to see Matilda. Ever since she has been obsessed with Ripley Sobo. She's seen all her movies. What a resume!I didn't know any of the actors except the two leads on the poster so I was a bit skeptical but figured let's give it a shot! The dog and the bunny looked promising and I love me some Sarandon! I've been waiting for a movie all summer that my whole family would enjoy and we found it! Ace the Case had that old fashioned slapstick humor reminiscent of my generations Home Alone. Ripley was charming and very convincing as the little crime fighter. My son and daughter can't wait to see it again. I know we'll be getting it on i-Tunes!
harrisong-17612 I'd seen a lot of ads for this film on social media and thought I would give it a try. I mean you can't go wrong with Susan Sarandon. The beginning of the film was a bit disjointed, but 10 minutes in I was hooked! Is it getting an Oscar nomination? Probably not, but it's a cute film that I know my little cousins will love. They love Matilda the Musical so I think they will be excited to see Ripley Sobo as Olivia the detective! As a big brother to a much younger sister, It was interesting seeing how this dynamic played on screen. My sister is 6 years younger than me and growing up we had very little in common. Aaron Sauter does an excellent job of playing the uninterested and annoyed older brother. It reminds me of Home Alone and Harriet the Spy from when I was a kid.
mile-86596 I rented Ace the Case simply to see why the reviews were so awful they made me laugh and I ended up buying it because my 6 year old watched it 3 times in one day. Very refreshing break from the super hero movies and my kids loved the young girl and the rabbit so big it looked prehistoric. There are definitely a few scenes I could see might be scary for some young kids but not mine. They found them more humoruous than frightening. I usually end up falling asleep half way through the typical kid films but I laughed numerous times and lasted through a great finale. Great for kids of all ages that won't put the parents asleep. It definitely doesn't feel like a big budget movie but I love indie flix like Boyhood and Bottle Rocket and I felt this had similar production quality.
