| Common reaction to seeing this film, really. |
This bad children's film is so bizarre that I couldn't stop watching it, though I really wanted to. A boy, whose parents are former spies, seeks to rescue his kidnapped parents in Romania. First off, when he's in the U.S., it really looks like Romania; there was a brief period when a lot of trash was filmed in Romania and this has all the hallmarks, including extras who don't speak English and cinematography that's way too good for the budget. The plot involves a meteor, which causes the boy to become a shapeshifter - meant to be a plot twist, but it's in the title. There's also a witch that operates in cyberspace, who after several poor attempts to stop her, is stopped by a guy playing a glass harmonica [I kid you not]. There's a circle of dwarves that sort of chant the evil witch back to wherever she came from. There is absolutely no continuity in the plot, so it's hard to describe. When the kid seeks the help of the CIA, he dials 1-800-CIA-HELP [again, I'm not kidding] and it gets him the exact person he needs... but that guy doesn't help. I'm making it sound better than it is.
I actually rented this from Red Box.
