Probably a little petty, yes, I know, but...........


I've gotta say that as somebody who imagination was really captured as a kid by the original series, I had really looked forward to this movie and, for the most part, enjoyed watching it when it came out. I felt it was pretty loyal to the series, and lest we not forget, it is supposed to be a movie for kids, so it's no surprise if it comes off that way.

To be honest, I only had one problem with this film, and it's in the story. I don't get why the three (or four) older Tracy boys, I assume, had to finish school before they became active members of the team, and Jeff, after originally putting his foot down, and refusing to give in to his youngest boy's whining, in the end, decides to give in and to provide him with a shortcut that his brothers never had. What's this teach him, and did anybody else have a problem with this?
