 * 13) The film's ensemble cast does a great job, fitting into their roles nicely, especially that of Rob Paulsen as Mr. Steve.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Principal Luna can be kind of a jerk sometimes. But he does realize his mistakes, is glad to see Lil' D return, apologizes when the group gets back.
 * 2) There are a few errors. For example, in one scene, Madison was missing next to Sunny Bridges, but suddenly appears in the next scene.
 * 3) Eddie can get rather annoying at times.
 * 4) Lil' D's mom actions at the beginning are highly questionable.
 * 5) The pacing does go pretty slow at times.
 * 6) While the TV Series reprise all actors from it films, but Spencer Breslin and Dakota Fanning (Which they both played Conrad and Sally from The Cat in the Hat) would not reprise their roles of Lil' D and Kim Chin, instead, Small Fire takes role to Lil' D and Janice Kawaye (Which she played Kam Chin) takes role to Kim Chin.
 * 7) While she does a fairly good job at it, Crystal Scales as Tamika doesn’t quite fit all that well. (It would have been better if Grey DeLisle voiced Tamika.)
 * 8) Kam's subplot is rather useless and ends very quickly.
