Treasure Hounds
SCORE: 90
My belly is still sore from laughing so hard from watching Treasure
Hounds on DVD. It is awesome that Lionsgate sent Family Friendly Gaming
a reviewable copy of this movie. Kids will get into Treasure Hounds.
There is a dog on the cover of Treasure Hounds. I want you to know this
is not an animal movie. It is a movie abouts kids around the age of
twelve. So kids in middle school.
A mother and her son (Jack) move into a small town from the city after
Jack's grandfather dies. His grandfather left them a treasure of Spanish
coins. Jack meets some local kids his age and they go on a quest to find
this treasure. Initially Jack wants to get the money to get back to the
city. He does grow into getting the money to save the town. The towns
pipes are rusting and need to be fixed. Or the federal government will
force everyone to move.
The dog Skipper will fall asleep when he gets too excited. This only
happens a couple of times in Treasure Hounds though. The cat has a minor
role. Treasure Hounds borrows heavily from other movies. I caught some
Home Alone, Scooby Doo, and more in Treasure Hounds. Which is fine
because there are definitely plenty of funny parts in Treasure Hounds.
There are two burglars who are trying to get the Spanish treasure for
their German mother. One tall, and one shorter who like to insult one
another. Their lack of intelligence is what gives us so many funny
moments in Treasure Hounds. There is some rude humor, and mild violence
in Treasure Hounds. Things like dodgeballs being throw at someone, and
another person has their head knocked through a wall. Most of the
violence is shown off camera though.
The beginning of Treasure Hounds felt a little clumsy. I like the music
in Treasure Hounds. I will not spoil the ending of Treasure Hounds for
you. I will say that I enjoyed this movie from the start to the finish.
The kids break into multiple places thanks to one of them having the
keys to the dying town. I wish the front cover more accurately
represented the true characters in this film.
