Richard Propes' Review

D

The mystery is how this film found an audience!

I knew I was in trouble when I saw the commercials and I just didn't resonate with a computer generated "Scooby." What I didn't realize at the time was that computer generated "Scooby" would be the highlight of the film. A weak script and poor direction sink this film as the actors present here are not nearly strong enough to overcome the weak material. Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar (or is she going by Prinze now?), Matthew Lillard and Linda Cardellini aren't really what I would term "bad." They're just not "good." They don't have a script that allows them to shine, and they all end up being shown up by a computer generated dog. You've got to admire the band "Sugar Ray" for keeping themselves in the public eye, but surely there could have been better vehicles. This film is a big disappointment...I grew up a "Scooby Doo" fan and I can't help but think there's a lot of missed potential here. It possibly qualifies as a decent rental for kids. Possibly.

TC Candler's Comment

Kids will like it because it has pretty colors and silly voices.  Kids are stupid like that.  However, I only found one thing worthwhile in this film... Sarah Michelle Gellar & Linda Cardellini in cute outfits.  I am stupid like that.
