«A terminally low-rent and bottom-of-the-barrel endeavor, Adventures of a
Teenage Dragonslayer follows a young boy (Hunter Allen's Arthur) as he finds
himself caught up in a larger-than-life scenario involving trolls, dragons, and
magic potions - which inevitably causes no end of consternation for his mother
(Lea Thompson's Laura). Filmmaker Andrew Lauer, right from the outset,
demonstrates a distressing reluctance to offer up any elements designed to
capture and sustain the interest of older viewers, with the movie's pervasively
juvenile sensibilities - there's even a Suite Life of Zack & Cody
reference! - ensuring that it remains unwatchable and flat-out interminable from
start to finish. The presence of several familiar faces in the adult cast
unfortunately doesn't help matters, as Lauer has apparently directed his actors
to shout, yell, and mug their way through the proceedings. (It's a shame, really,
given that Lauer has assembled a quirky roster of performers that features
appearances by several of his former Caroline in the City colleagues.)
And although the film does contain exactly one decent scene - Arthur swallows a
potion that forces him to tell the truth, with his thoughts represented by
comic-book-style thought bubbles - Adventures of a Teenage Dragonslayer
primarily comes off as an exhaustingly tedious waste of time that, to add insult
to injury, boasts some of the worst computer-generated special effects ever
committed to celluloid».
