Earth to Echo
It's "Goonies" meets "E.T." when 3 "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" types video record à la "Paranormal Activities" their last days together due to the government's eminent domain claim in their neighborhood forcing their families to move. Strange cell phone interferences send these 3 boys off into the Nevada desert and on a treasure map hunt aiding a small alien that they dub Echo on his journey home. Along the way, these mini musketeers pick up their d'Artagnan and commit a B & E as well as grand theft auto. This cute PG sci-fi adventure is about 14 year olds made for 14 year olds. By the end of 100 minutes, audiences may grow wary of the shaky hand held cam view. If you stay to the end of credits, look for one last hint.
Alien gives it 2 ½ "best friends forever"stars out of 4.
Interesting note: Originally a Disney production sold off the Relativity Films for distribution.
