So now the mall cop has to become a real cop and rescue his daughter, and love interest, and save the day..

I interviewed kids ages 8 to 11 after the movie, who all loved it! Some parents thought it was a little corny, but thought it was exciting for the kids. My husband, 2 boys (ages 9 and 11) and I all enjoyed it.
