After moving to a small town, Zach Cooper finds a silver lining when he meets next door neighbor Hannah, the daughter of bestselling Goosebumps series author R.L. Stine. Stine is very strange and mysterious and it turns out for good reason. He is a prisoner of his own imagination – the monsters that his books made famous are real, and Stine protects his readers by keeping them locked up in their books. When Zach unintentionally unleashes the monsters from their manuscripts and they begin to terrorize the town, it’s suddenly up to Stine, Zach, and Hannah to get all of them back in the books where they belong.
Goosebumps could have gone terribly wrong. Another blast from the past turned into a new hopeful Hollywood franchise. However, this one is actually quite a good family film. Holy cow! It is a good family film, because it is a mix of humor adults and children will find funny and adventure and scares that will amuse adults and thrill the kids. Really, I am betting that we are seeing here a family movie tradition that will live on for years to come as one of the core movies people watch at Halloween! And why not? It is great fun.
The first hour of the movie will really be the best for most adults. There is a story going on here with characters that you like and care about. What’s fascinating is that they are funny and spooky and mysterious not just to kids but also to parents. Then Jack Black arrives.
Now, I am a Jack Black fan. That being said, I have definitely seen him go overboard and get a little too hammy in films. Nothing of the sort happens here. He is reeled in and gives one of the more subtly funny roles of his career. I loved it!
The last half hour of the movie does turn a bit into a typical horror/action movie with lots of running from monsters. However, Goosebumps manages to do what we have seen done before in a fun way that makes us forgive the repetition. Plus, there are some great little twists in here that keeps it pretty entertaining.
All in all, you could do far worse at a family movie outing. If you are looking for your new Halloween tradition, you may have just scored a big one in Goosebumps!
