When tasked with taking 'action' by an elementary teacher as a summer project, two affluent and spoiled siblings face their Dad's bankruptcy and parents' divorce by attempting to win the most complicated contest of all time. It's a contest used to cultivate the world's greatest talent to seed a special task force and head up a non-profit organization to address global issues such as climate change, pollution and world peace - with a cash prize of $1,000,000. The clues and contest take the children across the great state of Florida, highlighting the challenges faced on the land, air and sea by humanity. Each location, from the Southernmost Point at Key West to the United States' oldest city, St. Augustine has a clue and relevance to the puzzle. The kids are faced with escaping from their house to solve each clue however the Ice Cream Men are never far behind. The Ice Cream Men, Chilly and Ice Man, will resort to any means necessary to win the puzzle and the million dollars. The contest takes them to many of Florida's greatest locations. Starting at the Florida Ridge the duo use a hang-glider to narrowly escape and discover a clue from the air leading them to a low-speed Cadillac-boat and pirate ship chase to discover the second clue at the Alligator Lighthouse. Their third clue points them to the Southernmost Point of the United States in Key West. After giving up and heading back to their house, Jackson secretly solves the riddle and the siblings take an Amtrak to solve the final clue for a showdown in St. Augustine, Florida at the Castillo De San Marcos. Although a far cry from their spoiled roots, the two use their ingenuity to overcome obstacles and save their house.

What a terrific, fun, family film. Our kids are older (33, 31 & 23) so it's been a while since we've watched a kid movie. But kid movie or not... this was one terrific film and my wife enjoyed from beginning to end. Bravo folks, well done!!

If you are looking for a film to watch with your kids, or to just have them watch it by themselves. This is perfect! It was a lot of fun, and put me in such a good mood. Both kids are very talented and the story is fun and well written. A big thumbs up from me.

This one starts off with a quote from Greta Thunberg and the plot follows along that path. It's definitely geared toward a young audience, and it's message resonates well. The adult characters are played as caricatures which works for the intended younger audience. Well shot, enjoyable, and the kid actors are pretty darn good too.

The highly comedic film sends a great message about the power and perseverance kids who take a page out of the playbook of young environmental activist Greta Thunberg. This is a great film to watch for Earth Day!

Such a creative kid movie! It has everything a child wants to imagine, in a secret adventure starring a brother and sister ( who are a real brother and sister in life!) charming little actors, they are. Filmed entirely on location throughout Florida, with some scenic views from above from the airplane they requisitioned! From one quest to another, they are never deterred from doing the right thing, even though they could get discouraged, they turn it around into a win win for big kids, and small kids alike! Watch this movie 🍿 with the whole family for a fun night of pretend, and a secret moral to the story.
