As someone who definitely isn't the target audience for this movie I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
It's typical DCOM faire, with mostly hammy performances and the odd really good one in there to carry it.
The three leads are all pretty decent too, at least much better than some I've seen in low budget straight to TV movies, and although very campy, The Mummy is played to appeal to kids very well.
I'm hard pushed to say anything too negative about this, it was a fun way to waste an hour and a half while I caught up on some work.
It's a bit strange that the lead decides to name the Mummy after his dead Grandpa, that was the only 'what? Seriously?' moment for me, but I guess it was done to show how he desperately wanted someone to fill that void in his life having lost someone he was really close to.
If you've got pre-teen kids with nothing to do, put this on for them they'll probably enjoy it!
