Family Film

"Alec to the rescue is a substandard movie that is great for kids to watch alone or with their parents. The situations are pretty predictable and their is little to no plot in the entire movie. The acting itself was below standard, but if you get around that you can watch the movie for the scenery. All that adds to why it is the perfect family film. This is also why this film got two stars from me."
Saturday Afternoon Matinee

"As a kid I loved Saturday afternoons because regular TV stations would show really outlandish type films that were funny and adventurous. Alec To The Rescue! was one of many really good B-type movies that I watched as a teenager one afternoon. There are moments when I thought man this movie is ridiculous, the characters talk to the camera every once in awhile, and they get in long fights that seem endless.
Also it is cool to see how the "boy-hero" started to get an outing in films of this nature before Harry Potter and other better written adventure stories came along.
If you have an afternoon, especially a Saturday, take the time to check this film out, it's cool.
