Goofs:
Continuity: The stock of Hogarth's gun changes in appearance. When Marv Loach hands it to Kent Mansley, the "HOG" of "HOGARTH" is almost directly over the "HUG" of "HUGHES". When Kent looks at the gun in the car, the "HUG" has shifted the equivalent of two letters to the right.

Quotes:
Kent Mansley:
Hogarth? That's an embarrassing name. They might as well have called him Zeppo or something

What a GREAT movie! Not just for kids, but adults as well. Kids will love it on one level, and adults will love it on another level. Even adults who are not parents will love it!
There's humor, there's action, there's nostalgia, there's the perfect capture of being a child, there are positive messages (be yourself, don't kill, etc.), there's satire, there are adults who are not stupid and not comic relief....there's GREAT WRITING!
AND NO SONG AND DANCE NUMBERS! Also, there are NO COMIC-RELIEF ANIMAL SIDEKICKS! Take that, Disney!
I know some people might be resisting this movie, because it looks like it's aimed for kids - and they might be expecting a Disney clone (and we all know the bad results of Disney wannabes).....but TRUST ME. Give this movie a chance - you'll love it!
Is there ANYTHING wrong with it? Well, the only thing that bugged me (just a little) were some close-ups of the characters - these certain close-ups had a "sketchy" look a la the movies "We're Back!" and "Balto".
Fortunately, there's very little of this. Other than that - this is a PERFECT MOVIE!
