Product Description
Nintendo video game perennials Mario and Luigi come to life as plumbers who are thrust into a parallel dimension peopled by the descendents of dinosaurs. It seems that the meteor that hit the earth 65 million years ago (in Brooklyn, no less) didn't kill the dinosaurs, but hurled them into a world in which they have developed into a species of intelligent humanoids. And it is up to the Mario brothers to save Princess Daisy, and life as we know it, from the megalomaniacal Koopa, who wants to merge the two dimensions and rule the world that will result.

Yes it's fluff and pure escapism, and loosley based on the Super Mario computer games, but it's a fun film!
Children will enjoy it for the adventure and out of this world effects and stunts, while adults will enjoy a laugh with the tongue in cheek plot and performances from Bob, John and Dennis.
A great film and one that has been overlooked for a DVD release until now!
Enjoy it, and leave your brain on hold for 90mins of Super Mario Bros FUN!

Oscar nominee Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo are an often overlooked double act that made this film an absolute joy. Hoskins displays a untapped (no, I haven't seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit?) comic brilliance, displayed in facial expression, body language and line delivery, while Johnny Leg runs around after the girl quipping as a young New Yorker should.
The Goombas look awesome. Shoddy animatronics are always good for a laugh.
I've subtracted two stars for Oscar nominee Dennis Hopper's dreadful King Koopa performance (worst dialogue ever) and the fact that Bob-omb is pronounced with a stutter, like b..b..bomb, when it SHOULD be pronounced like two words, for the awkward effect. Shame.

My 7 year old son loves mario and whilst this was a little bit too serious for him (more suited for someone over 10) he still loved it. Thanks
