Zoom (2006) 7/10

Starring : Tim Allen, Courteney Cox, Chevy Chase, Spencer Breslin, Kevin Zegers, Kate Mara, Michael Cassidy, Ryan Newman, Rip Torn
Director : Peter Hewitt
Running Time : 89 mins

Jack Shepard (Allen), aka. Captain Zoom, is an ex-super hero who is called out of retirement by the government to help train a new group of young super heroes, but they soon discover that the real reason for their recruitment is to help defeat Jack’s long lost brother Conor (Zegers), who turned to evil many years ago and is now returning to seek revenge.

For a kids movie, this was pretty entertaining, but don’t expect anything high brow here. The kids were entertaining with their random super powers, and Tim Allen underplayed his role quite well. Definitely one for the kids on Christmas day, but don’t go too much out of your way to see this.
