Clockstoppers

This sci-fi adventure – about a high-schooler (Jesse Bradford) who discovers a secret government watch that allows him to move so fast everyone else seems to be standing still – wants to be Spy Kids for a slightly older set, but the witless result tries to coast on dated but carefully test-marketed elements such as extreme sports and Blink 182 songs. Kiddie manipulation has rarely felt so lame.
