Synopsis
Everyone always knew that Max had a wild imagination, but no one believed that his wildest creations -- a boy raised by watchful great white sharks and a girl with the force of a volcano -- were real. Now, these two pint-sized action masters will show Max that even an ordinary kid has what it takes to be extraordinary.

Slight but immensely enjoyable charmer. - 60
Dallas Observer
Robert Rodriguez and his kids conjure up a charming 3-D fantasy. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
An often imaginative though less than magical family feature. - 50
Variety
There's little chance of grabbing teens (or even many tweens) during summertime playdates. Still, small fry will be enchanted by this rambunctious action-adventure. - 42
Entertainment Weekly
Like choral singing and travel photography, this adventure is more fun for participants than it is for spectators. - 38
Chicago Tribune
There's really just not a lot here. I'm sure Racer's story will entertain the very wee ones -- but so do keys. - 38
Charlotte Observer
The story's so sloppy that it contradicts itself constantly. - 30
Time
Pretty lame. Sharkboy has an especially frantic, amateur atmosphere, with a mostly maladroit cast.
