BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
strwbrryblnd The Zack Files is really good. When I was a kid i read the books, and last year I came upon it on showtime on demand and i have watched it every week since. I especially like the episode "Zack and White," in which Zack is a rebel in a black and white world and Ray from RFR is Orwell. It's fun to watch now in a sped up way because the boys go through puberty at some midpoint and it's interesting. I especially love jake epstein because now he is very cute. The zack files is a very good show for any kid ages 10-14. The acting is really good. Some episodes I was upset because they did not do the same thing as the book. Such as the invisible ink episode, where Zack becomes invisible and uses it to help Cam, but in the book, Zack finds that when he drinks invisible ink, he becomes invisible except when under bright lights. Vernon cheats in an ice cream contest and Zack pretends to be his conscience. I guess that it a spoiler for the book if you haven't read it.
Oscar2Katie I think this show is a really great show for kids and adults its likes X-Files-but better! I really love this show and watch it everyday! I like Jake Epstein (Cam) he's a really great actor! (and really cute!) I'm 13 and just love this show! sorry I said that a lot but I really love it!
BadAngel_182 I really like this show, good acting for young teens, ya' know? Robert Clark who plays the spunky Zack Greenburg has become one of my fave kid actors. I'd really like to see Clark in many other projects, in my opinion, he is the next River Phoenix, just without a sad end. But back to the show, it has good plots, good acting, good sets. It is cool for any age, so if you like the X-files with a bit of spunk and silliness, this is a show to watch, whether you are a kid or an elderly person.
swagner765 This show is a X-Files for kids. It's kind of lame, but it can be enjoyable to watch, sometimes. It adds up The Zack Files, X- Files. This show's got good acting and you know all good plot and blah blah blah. Most shows on Fox Family are lame, with the exception of Freaks and Geeks and Providence, and Early Edition are okay. I've only seen a few episodes of this show. I was a little bitter.
