For those still too young to watch the violent cinematic exploits of Batman and other caped crusaders (despite their persistent pleading), there's Sharkboy (Lautner) and Lavagirl (Dooley). These two pint-size superheroes join forces with Max, a dorky 10-year-old (Boyd), to save Planet Drool, in 3-D no less. Director Robert Rodriguez (Spy Kids), who based his script on stories dreamed up by his own 8-year-old son, Racer Max, has made a lively adventure full of humor, minor scares and heaps of imagination. Special bonus: Kids will love to play with the old-school cardboard 3-D glasses afterward. (PG)
