Spy-fi fun for pre-teens. Zak Gibbs (Jesse Bradford) is a high-school kid into sport, chasing girls and having fun on his BMX, but would really like to spend more quality time with his father (Robin Thomas), a famous physics professor, more interested in offbeat
inventions.
Zak finds a watch that his father has invented and mislaid: it can slow down time so the world comes to a near-standstill. With his buddy Danny (Garikayi Mutambirwa) and sexy exchange student Francesca (Paula Garces), Zak can sort out the school bullies and hoons. When the government hears of the invention, it sends Agent Gates (Michael Biehn) to steal it.
DVD features: movie (93min); Making of ... feature; 2 music videos, Holiday in my Head by Smash Mouth and It's the Weekend by Lil'J.
