Title: Poor Home Video
Review: This movie is sure to be among the world's worst children's films ever. As a children's theater director, I never would have cast this sorry group of performers who looked the part but were outclassed by the scenery in terms of their delivery of lines. (Except for the title character, Max who seemed to try.)I watched this turkey in growing disbelief that it could get any worse....but it did! The videography was straight out of home movie production with a large reliance on diagonal wipes in scene changes, and about one overused special effect that was used for everything "magical." The plot was almost non-existent and combined with the actor's sterling delivery managed to bore everyone present at my god-daughters birthday party.Bottom line -- the six year old lost interest after ten minutes and the nine year old lasted a half hour (but it was her present from Grandma so she made the effort).Save your money. Buy any older children's classic from Disney instead.
