Goosebumps


In the Goosebumps movie, upset about moving from a big city to a small town, teenager Zach Cooper (Dylan Minnette) finds a silver lining when he meets the beautiful girl, Hannah (Odeya Rush), living right next door. But every silver lining has a cloud, and Zach's comes when he learns that Hannah has a mysterious dad who is revealed to be R. L. Stine (Jack Black), the author of the bestselling Goosebumps series. It turns out that there is a reason why Stine is so strange… he is a prisoner of his own imagination – the monsters that his books made famous are real, and Stine protects his readers by keeping them locked up in their books. When Zach unintentionally unleashes the monsters from their manuscripts and they begin to terrorize the town, it's suddenly up to Stine, Zach, and Hannah to get all of them back in the books where they belong in the new Goosebumps movie.

I was pleasantly surprised with this movie.  It was basically a family friendly Halloween type of movie.  It reminded me a lot of Jumanji.  The best part was that it kind of mocked itself with the author of all the Goosebumps movies being one of the main characters.  That part of the whole thing brought about a lot of laughs and made the movie even more surprisingly enjoyable.  

I would recommend families check this out.  There are some scary parts but for the most part, it was a surprisingly enjoyable movie.
