Goosebumps

You will believe in monsters.

Upset about moving from a big city to a small town, a teenage boy finds a silver lining when he meets the beautiful girl living right next door. But every silver lining has a cloud, and his comes when he learns that she has a mysterious dad who is revealed to be R. L. Stine, the author of the bestselling Goosebumps series. It turns out that there is a reason why Stine is so strange... He is a prisoner of his own imagination: the monsters that his books made famous are real, and Stine protects his readers by keeping them locked up in their books. When the boy unintentionally unleashes the monsters from their manuscripts and they begin to terrorise the town, it's suddenly up to Stine and the kids get all of them back in the books where they belong.

Cape Times Michael Rechtshaffen Creepy 'Goosebumps' yarn scuttles onto the big screen.	10
ScreenIt T. Durgin But, all in all, this was just an exercise in fun that is targeted at kids, but doesn't forget the grown-ups in the audience. It also doesn't insult their intelligence or the savvy of today's kids. I hope it will be a monster hit.	14
