For the ultimate in camp and cheeze, they should have Adam West in this, in keeping with the homage to old heroes theme. Throw Burt Ward in there while they're at it. And the guy who played The Green Hornet. Or is he dead?

They wanted to do an homage to her Wonder Woman role by giving her Gold Bracelets but Warner/DC said no.

I'll go see it mainly for the cast. The sfx look ok. For some reason the look of this film reminds me of Rodriguez's kid stuff (ie- Spy Kids, Sharkboy/Lavagirl). Maybe just because it's kids in a super-heroic setting.
and yes, Kelly Preston is still a babe.

The delivery of that line just screams to me "we'll shoot a funny line that'll look good in the trailers, with a funny looking character and it'll be great, something will blow up and the funny looking guy will say 'I'll get the nurse! Derp-da-derp-da-derp!' "
I swear, that one little bit cause me a little bit of physical pain everytime I see it.
If the rest of you are optimistic, I'll try to keep an open mind though.

Such great potential, wasted with cliched high school antics...

Did all you negative Nancys check out the link above? I think the stuff on Movie.com looks really funny, and I am now really looking forward to seeing this.

I took my 7 year old to this today, and we both enjoyed it a lot. You can see the plot twists coming a mile away, but it was pretty funny.

a warning...
..if you like Even Stevens, Lizzie McGuire, and the Might Morphin Power Rangers, you will love this movie.
Everyone else, you'll want to kill yourself by the time it ends.
You have been warned.
