I have to say that I did not hate this movie. I can understand the 3. rating here at IMDb, but I cannot understand the poor reviews.
Kyla Pratt is awesome in this work! She is really coming into her own, AND she can sing like a bird.
The script is where the fault lies. You have a bunch of kids who must save a ranch, which is going out of business. This vehicle is so overused it has become cliché, and it sure did feel old, musty, and stale, in spite of Kyla Pratt and her stellar performance.
Some have suggested that they needed Murphy back for this installment to make it work. I say Murphy isn't necessary in ANY of his later films. What they needed was a good screenwriter, and producers who knew better than to approve a bucket of schlock as this.
It could have been great.
It rates a 4.4/10 from...
