Plot: Three kids accidentally
discover a friendly mummy (whom they name Harold) in a neighbors basement. They
soon learn that if the mummy is not placed back in his sarcophagus before
Halloween, he will...die? It will be bad news, is what I'm saying. So, it's a race
against time to return Harold to his coffin and reunite him with his mummy
girlfriend. I'm serious.

My thoughts: This
could have been bad. Really bad. I mean, did you read
the plot synopsis? The movie was surprisingly great. Likable characters and decent
performances from the kids. I never found the mummy to be too annoying either,
which I attribute mostly to great character actor Bill Fagerbakke (the voice of Patrick Star).
This dude.
There were many funny moments (particularly
the dialogue) and some genuinely touching moments as well. Definitely feels
more like a Disney Channel product this time, but a clever one. The next one...not nearly as good.
