Zathura / Zathura: A Space Adventure
2005
**½
Director: Jon Favreau
Cast: Josh Hutcherson, Jonah Bobo, Dax Shepard, Kristen Stewart, Tim Robbins
Danny and Walter are two bickering brothers who must learn to pull together when their house ends up in outer space after they start a game of Zathura. If this story sounds awfully familiar, that's because it is based on Chris Van Allsburg's book, just like Jumanji. Although Jon Favreau's family movie is somewhat likeable and entertaining, I could not get past its lack of fresh ideas and the infuriating main characters.
