Antboy

Take off your thinking cap and simply enjoy the mini-pleasures of "Antboy."

You gotta love a movie that calls itself "Antboy." Unless, alas, you also have to sit through this Danish, dubbed-in-English kiddie movie.

Some iffy humor in quirky Danish tween superhero movie.

Wow, talk about creepy! "Antboy" is a live-action film from Denmark about a 12-year-old wallflower bitten by a super-ant and given prepubescent super powers.

Hardly a great children's movie, but the young actors are a pleasant enough bunch that at least you don't feel like squashing it.

Antboy is a Danish superhero film, dubbed in English, that plays like a limp, low-budget retread of Spider-Man on its surface, but has a slight off-kilter edge within some of the details, leaving one a little pleasantly baffled.

...a mostly bland but very kid-friendly Spider-Man clone.
