Check out my thoughts here: Family Movie Review – Goosebumps
If your kiddos are fans of the Scholastic worldwide best-selling book series, with over 400 million copies in printbook series, then they will have a great time recognizing characters and storylines. My daughter could not contain herself as she pointed to the screen and announced certain creatures. It was quite the interactive and entertaining time.
Jack Black is always entertaining, and he plays a wonderfully quirky and freaky R.L. Stine. Other actors include: Dylan Minnette (Prisoners), Ryan Lee (Super 8) and Odeya Rush (The Giver). When Zach (Minnette) accidently unleashes magical monsters on the town, he must team with his new friends Champ (Lee), Hannah (Rush) and Stine (Black) to send the heinous ghouls back to where they came from before it’s too late.
You know you are in the hands of great storytellers, with a film that is directed by Rob Letterman (Shark Tale, Monsters vs. Aliens) and produced by Deborah Forte (The Golden Compass) and Neil H. Moritz (22 Jump Street), and with a screenplay by Darren Lemke (Turbo) who was inspired by the story from star-screenwriting team Scott Alexander & Larry Karaszewski (Big Eyes).
You will enjoy the Blu-ray™ Combo Packs and DVD that are chock-full of ‘spook-tacular’ special features, including an alternate opening and ending, deleted scenes, a blooper reel, and a casting gallery. As a special bonus, you will find are two all-new featurettes (Beginners Guide to Surviving a Goosebumps Creature and Strange Things are Happening…On-Set) with Dylan Minette and Ryan Lee. The exclusive Blu-ray™ sets contain All About Slappy in which Slappy talks about his favorite subject…himself!; and Creaturefied!, where makeup FX artist Steve Prouty demonstrates how to become your favorite Goosebumps creature.
