what it like represent if you take the story ( mimsy be the borogoves by lewis padgett henry kuttner and catherine l. moore ) and and give it to latter day hippy ( such a script repurposer bruce joel rubin ) to make a one of the sharp episode of the revive the outer limit ( it slightly wittier and good do than the sandkings pilot ) . less rancid and dumb than the typical spielberg gang out and slightly less sanitized ( for your protection ) than the common disney production ( even if michael clarke duncan role be straight out of lilo and stitch ) and this film will annoy kuttner or moore purist . what good about it represent the actor be pretty deft and for the most part and include the kid sib . kathryn hahn ( of cross jordan ) and rainn wilson ( of the office and six foot under ) be just about the go to couple for the kind of reasonably latter day hippy they portray here and and timothy hutton and joely richardson do well by their increasingly freak parent role . nice early touch on how the first toy appear differently to our kid protags and to their mother . some visuals not too shabby and if unspectacular . what not so good represent the product placement go from blatant to and at a key point and annoyingly unbelievable while the framing device and particularly at the end . the changed nature and reason for the transport of the toy package . what it would be pair with at the kailua drive in or holiday theater for double feature correspond to those of my youth represent deja vu or other more innocuous skiffy while probably not with 300. another reason it clearly not direct by joe dante represent no one watch the twonky at any point .
