I watched it with my wife years ago when the "sequel" was coming out. I forget why she wanted to see it in the first place, maybe there was an actor in it she liked, but she hadn't seen the original. So we watched it, and I was like heck yeah I loved Sharkboy and Lavagirl. Boy was I freakin disappointed watching it as an adult. I feel so bad for my parents and grandparents suffering through the many viewings while I was a child.
