Meet the Plumm family (William Baldwin, his wife and two sons). They're a happy-go-lucky crew living their lives in a lazy little town. Youngest son Rocky (who is adorable, by the way) loves his hometown kids show (starring Henry Winkler) about a character named "Froggy Doo." It feels very Little Miss Sunshine until, all of a sudden, it becomes more like Death to Smoochy. See, Froggy Doo is kidnapped (or, more accurately, stolen, since I think it's actually a doll/puppet and not a living being), turning the whole world upside down. Kids are crying, parents are puzzled, even the FBI gets involved. This is all fairly unbelievable and even more unbelievable: The trailer claims this is based on a true story. I haven't been able to verify the accuracy of this but, either way, it's certainly a strange little thing to make a movie about. What happens next is just as bizarre. Apparently, the FBI agents are incompetent, or "clueless" as their crossword puzzle would have you know. So Rocky and his high school-aged brother, Elliot (and Elliot's love interest), set out to find Froggy Doo themselves. Everyone wants them to stop searching and leave it to the authorities, but surely they won't. After all, "Goonies never say die." Oh, sorry, wrong movie, but you get the point: Kids never give up, and are smarter than their parents and all of that. The trailer doesn't give away whether the kids, or anyone else, finds Froggy Doo, but we do see an ominous scene in which a kid is floating down a raging river trying to grab hold of a metal chest (possibly containing our dear Froggy?). It's a little indie that could be pretty fun, but also begs the question: Do we really care this much about something called Froggy Doo? And, if we do, why?
