Dot Conner: Webtective

DOT CONNER: WEBTECTIVE is the family mystery adventure movie you've been waiting for!

Internet sleuth (or "webtective") Dot Conner (Gili Gould) receives a cryptic phone call from her father (Drew Waters) on the eve of her first day of high school, plunging her into an adventure she never expected to face. As Dot navigates the rocky start of her high school life, she uncovers the first of many clues her father has left behind, setting her on an urban treasure hunt with friends Makayla (Lauren McCardell) and Alex (Ethan Pogue). Their quest leads them through the city, crossing paths with dangerous Russian thugs as they go. What begins as a search for her father quickly unravels into a much larger mystery, revealing his deep involvement in the world of espionage. Amid the chaos, Dot discovers the truth of Philippians 4:13, proving that even in the darkest times, faith can light the way.

 Dot Conner: Webtective opens in theaters on Sept. 19th. Find theaters and Buy Tickets at dotconner.com/tickets. Watch trailer below:


MY REVIEW: I enjoyed it. While the primary audience would likely be 8-12 years old, Dot Conner: Webtective can definitely be enjoyed as a Family Movie Night/Matinee film. When i was younger, I loved Nancy Drew, Trixie Beldon, The Hardy Boys, and any other mystery series that involved kids my age or a bit older. Dot Conner: Webtective would easily fit into that genre. 

There are foes to face ranging from a "mean girl" to "Russian thugs" but these bad guys would probably feel at home on a episode of "Scooby Doo" or "Rocky and Bullwinkle." The tense moments don't last too long, but add enough excitment to build suspense on how the heroes will escape and defeat their enemies. The main two thugs (Jason Marsden, John Brady) also are the comic relief; they made me laugh several times. 

Dot and her 2 best friends are great role models for kids and I loved how internet safety tips were easily shared in a manner that children and tweens won't feel like they are getting a lecture. The Bible was also freely discussed with friends and family. There is definitely a need for more faith-based entertainment for the intended age group. Dot Conner: Webtective takes faith, fun, friends, family, and just enough fear to make a wholesome film that also entertains. 

I recommend taking your family to the theater this weekend to enjoy this good movie together. I know many of my favorite childhood memories was seeing a movie with my family! Learn more & buy tickets at DotConner.com
