Standard formula; the only plus is the ninja scene.

This is one of those standard formula movies. The family is cute and overtly functional. However, under the covers, the kids have problems, and parents are dumber than dirt.
They vacation in a low-tech environment because of a lack of technology, which caused this family to be dysfunctional. Of course, the parents do not know what technology is, so that is why they have a problem with technology. Against know about it all too well. So that is why they been a problem with technology.
Nothing with keynote, this change in the situation. Therefore, we throw in malicious aliens, goofy zombies, "haven't got a clue" authorities, ET wannabe, and the kitchen sink. Maybe the kids will learn something from this. Maybe the parents will still go home without a clue. Maybe the authorities go off into the sunset. Maybe we spent X minutes of our lives watching this.
I am not saying that people who do not appreciate kids’ slapstick would not appreciate this movie, but they are the only ones who could.
Some of the actors are popular, including Ashley Tisdale.
For those with a tendency to enjoy this kind of movie, I suggest you avoid this movie and watch “The Goonies” (1985).
For technophiles, I only saw the Blu-ray and cannot compare it. However, the visuals and sound are all that is promised.
