Robert Rodriguez (SPY KIDS, DESPERADO) directed this hyperkinetic kids' film based on a script by his pre-teen son, Racer. The plot concerns a daydreaming youngster named Max (Cayden Boyd) whose fantasy stories about the titular superheroes the molten-hot Lava Girl (Taylor Dooley), and a boy raised by sharks appropriately named Shark Boy (Taylor Lautner) inspire the ridicule of everyone from the local bullies to his own mom (Kristin Davis). Even Max's fourth grade teacher (George Lopez) wants him to come down to earth, but then a tornado brings Shark Boy and Lava Girl into the school to whisk Max off to the planet Drool, where only his dreaming skills can save the day.

Surprising good
I like superhero movies and this intrigued me, so when I came to watch it I wondered what would happen.
Its clear that the original idea came from a kid, but the story is fantastic. I can see a successful writing/ scripting future ahead.
It would be nice to see a sequel to see what happens to Lavagirl and Sharkboy. The two titled characters are both named Taylor in real life I bet that was confusing! -
