Poor Willy (Matthew Knight, THE GRUDGE 2) has both of these things to fear when his family finds a new place.

With Gooby’s help, the boy may be able to survive and thrive in his new environment. GOOBY also stars David James Elliott and Eugene Levy. [More]

This should be, by all accounts, a horror movie. It is instead a Canadian family comedy. So, you know, same difference.

Its lack of a compelling storyline and overreliance on so-so slapstick will limit its appeal to easily distracted preschoolers.

Entertaining for kids while slightly corny and silly for adults, but it's often harmless, bighearted and filled with inspirational messages about friendship, hope and the importance of family which everyone, young and old, can appreciate.

Instead of inspiring children to be brave and loving, it will most likely send them cowering under the covers in terror. They’ve already got Chucky movies for that.
