Goosebumps

Goosebumps is more entertaining than it should be with a fun but lighter mix of the darker stuff seen in the likes of Gremlins and even Jumanji (exact same plot by the way). Jack Black portrays R.L. Stine as both an egotistical windbag and overly protective father. The teen actors are one-dimensional but at least they're not obnoxious. The cgi is cartoon-like but appropriately so since this is a children's movie but there are a few bits that are surprisingly creepy like a kitchen fight with garden gnomes or a nasty ventriloquist's dummy named Slappy.
