Earth to Echo was a fun and exciting movie. My daughters, 8 & 10 loved it. One said it was her favorite movie. This movie kept them entertained the entire time. I have seen a lot of bad reviews for this and one said children would not get the jokes etc. My girls had no problems. Good family movie. I would recommend it. The characters were funny. The plot was good. People that don't like this probably don't have kids or have no imagination. It was the kind of movie your children will remember for years, like Goonies, Stand by me etc. Do not let bad reviews make you decide against this movie. Watch it and decide for yourself
