if you read the book by carl hiaasen and the movie follow pretty much true to form and with a few minor change for hollywood . in my opinion this be a great family movie . luke wilson ( officer delinko ) pretty well steal the show from an all star cast that include robert wagner and jimmy buffet . the kid in the movie do a great job lead by logan lerman and brie larson and and cody linley . brie larson be maybe a little too petite to play beatrice . i picture a big girl and maybe 6 foot and 175 lb and in the role of beatrice . this might have make her more believable in her role of beat up dana . they should have develop her tough girl character more and and have her bite through a tire and or kick a soccer ball through a person . she be very pretty and and i understand why she be cast and she be a box office attraction . this be about as pg a a movie get these day and no sex and and very little violence . this movie be a parent wouldream come true and a movie with a strong environmental message and with kid that have deep appreciation for the beauty of florida and it wildlife . it show how adult have fall short in the stewardship of our planet and and that our child can demand good . one of my favorite line in the movie be when mullet finger say and florida could use some mountain like montana . florida be so flat there be nothing to stop developer from clear it coast to coast . also and the photography of florida wildlife speak volume without dialog . a a family movie with kid age 5 15 and this be a great movie . a a bonus parent will be entertain and especially if theyre parrotheads .
