1. It's a kids movie...
I wouldn't bother...It's more of a movie you sit down and watch on Family night.

3. Yes
Kevin Bacon is in it too. Good vs. evil, not a bad movie. Both of them have done better work, but moderately entertaining.

4. The storyline is a permutation of Deliverance,
with a similar setting. A couple, the wife an expert river-rafter, takes their young or pre teen down the river in an inflatable, then things go wrong when they meet some others....

Then ending is satisfying and the scenery grand.

5. Decent movie--Kevin Bacon steals the show from that over-rated hack!
Thank God he does--if it had been just Meryl, it would have been unbearable!

He plays Meryl Streep's husband.

A hottie.
