Crosswalk.com recommends this PG movie:
While the movie's set-up is effective, it's the madcap journey where things really get interesting.
Thanks to some great chemistry between the actors, you can't help rooting for them to succeed. Whether it's the run-in with Medusa (a terrific Uma Thurman, but it's the cool special effects that really steal the show) in New Jersey, a wild jaunt through Nashville's Parthenon (complete with winged Converse sneakers to help Percy fly) or the dangerous trek to meet Hades in the underworld (the portal is just below the Hollywood sign, a funny slice of serendipity, no?), Percy Jackson & the Olympians is an exhilarating adventure.
