The Adventure Club

Ricky Young, Bill, and Sandy Leeman are kids who call themselves the Adventure Club. They build a time machine which doesn't work as all of their other adventures. Ricky finds a building blueprint from his late grandpa and a real adventure begins.

It's a small Canadian movie for kids. It has a nice sweet charm but it has no oomph. It's National Treasure Junior. It's a car that gets in second gear but goes no further. The second half has a wishing box which doesn't do much. I'd rather do more with that and forget the science center being in trouble. This is the kids' story, and not about the adults. When it brings in a wishing box, you have to get some bad wishes. That's the point of it.
