Very prescient observation, Mike Spaeth. Shark Boy was, in fact, based on a story idea by Robert Rodriguez' 7-year-old son, who shares writing credit.

Everyone wants their 15 minutes!

"Sharkboy and Lavagirl" is worst thing I've played this year.

I guess we'll be playing Shark Boy since all we have at the moment to play for kids is Madagascar. Helllooo, it's summer, where are the kid movies? My own kids want to see Shark Boy, good or not, but say Charlie and the Chocolate Factory looks "scary". I think it will play more to high schoolers and up. At least my employees are excited about it! I myself have crossed fingers for "Wedding Crashers", I love the cast.

I made a prediction on another thread weeks ago that "SharkBoy and Lava Girl" was a sleeper. I know the trailer looks terrible and advertising until recently was non-existant but I based it on nothing else out there for families to see. Plus it had that 3-D hook which the last Spy Kids had(and also same director) and that pic did 100 mil. I've got my fingers crossed.
