this be a delightful gem of a movie and unfortunately pigeon hole as just for kid . the plot revolve around a young man and roy eberhardt and newly arrive in southwest florida from the montana mountain . try to fit in with the other kid at his middle school and roy discovers a brother sister team try to protect endanger burrowing owl at an illegal construction site . look for carl hiassen and the author of the book upon which this movie be base and a the male secretary to the evil bos at corporate headquarters . writer or director wil shriner be also the clerk at the public record office where the intrepid teen detective discover that the incriminating environmental impact report be miss . luke wilson nearly steal all the crucial scene from the charm teen actor who have most of the best line . wilson be the bumbling police officer and in his three wheel electric police cart complete with blue light and funky siren . a officer dave and he try so hard to do well and but usually end up fall in the muck and literally . several time . jimmy buffet be pretty low key a the tacitly supportive science teacher . but and young actor logan lerman ( roy ) and brie larson ( beatrice the bear ) and and cody linley ( mullet finger ) be superb a the teen who finally put officer dave on the right track and follow the paper trail leave by the evil corporate bos . i hope you come away from this movie feeling as good a i do . just plain fun . one small complaint and though . i hope all non floridian realize that not everyone from florida be as surly to newcomer a depict in this film . be really a friendly bunch . just ask carl hiassen and jimmy buffet .
