A boy who tells tall tales must save the president’s daughter from a kidnapping plot.
Thomas Miller is a mischievous 12-year-old boy who is constantly making up exaggerated stories to get out of trouble while dealing with bullies and teachers. His only friend is Jackie, a fellow school misfit who is beginning to have stronger feelings than friendship for Thomas. Meanwhile, their school is abuzz with the news that the President’s daughter, Christina Adams, will be attending the school dance. But when Thomas learns of an evil plan to kidnap the President’s daughter, everyone simply writes it off as another one of Thomas’s lies. It’s up to Thomas to find out who is trying to kidnap the First Daughter, who the good guys are in the whole debacle, and somehow prove that he is actually, for once, telling the truth.
“Kids will enjoy film for its portrayal of bumbling and oafish authority figures, and the mischievous ways in which Thomas gets out of trouble through his over-the-top tales. Parents will enjoy the movie’s overarching message on why it’s important to tell the truth. Through the exaggerated parody of middle school life and the misadventures in the story itself, timeless messages of being honest and being grateful for the friends you have emerge.” – Common Sense Media
