Here's quite a fun movie, based around the book series. It's more tamer and kid friendly than the 90's TV series adaptation, essentially a generic family film with a couple little twists. It's 103 minute runtime fly's by quickly, as the characters encounter a bunch of series' classic monsters (although sadly missing a couple of my personal faves like the horned demons from Horrorland). It's a movie full of energy with a few good jokes scattered about. I really like the cop duo alot and wish we got to see more of them in the film. Also don't expect a an accurate portrayal of R.L Stine from Jack Black, as he just does his usual thing aside from speaking weirdly, still fun to watch though.
Overall despite just be a very generic affair, it's still a fun ride with hints of nostalgia for those that ever read the books as a kid.
