Review Quotes
There are few plot points within Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board that one can't see coming from miles away, as the movie's four credited screenwriters pepper the proceedings with as predictable a sensibility as one might've expected (this is particularly true of anything involving the aforementioned 12-year-old). And although it's ultimately impossible to recommend the film to those that fall outside of the coveted "tween" demographic, Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board is a certainly a vast improvement over such thoroughly underwhelming efforts as Jump In! and Read It and Weep. — Reel Film Reviews
