Shark Boy and Lava Girl are two super-heroes dreamed up by Max to help him battle his archenemy, a bully at school named Linus. Robert Rodriguez of "Sin City" fame teamed up with his kids to bring their daydreams to life. The result is a surreal and quirky little tale that would have made Salvador Dali envious. At times, the film feels a little too much like a theme park attraction. However, the pure whimsy of the production is sure to make this a cult classic fave in the tradition of "The Dark Crystal," and "Labyrinth." I suggest watching the whole thing without the glasses. The 3D isn't all that and actually detracts from the movie. Sure there's lots of uneven coloring, but it only adds to the weird worlds that await.
