RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN

With Dwayne Johnson, AnnaSophia Robb, Alexander Ludwig, Carla Gugino, Ciarán Hinds, Tom Everett Scott, Chris Marquette, Garry Marshall

Written by Matt Lopez, Mark Bomback & Matt Lopez (based on the book "Escape to Witch Mountain" by Alexander Key)

Directed by Andy Fickman

Jack Bruno is a tough guy trying to follow the straight and narrow path by doing an honest day's work as a cab driver in Vegas - but he gets his life turned upside down in a single day. This happens when two aliens (disguised as a boy and girl) slip into his car, asking him for help. The cliché government bad guys are after them and the race is on to not only get to their spacecraft, but to save our planet and theirs as a result. To make things worse, a Guyver-like alien creature is also on their tail (as well as bad folks Jack used to deal with in his checkered past). Their reinforcements in this race against time is a good-looking UFO expert (who happened to be one of Jack's taxi passengers that same day). The action, adventure, and special effects will certainly do it for the younger viewers, but this Disney spectacle won't impress everyone - especially not the wrestling fans who'd think Johnson (aka The Rock) will maintain his image and not resort to kid's / family flicks - (wait until they see him in The Tooth Fairy!).
Extra features include some extended / deleted scenes and a blooper reel (which, as is usually the case, is not hardly as funny to the viewer as it were for the cast & crew...)
