Review of Secret Headquarters (2022) by Tvjerry — 20 Aug 2022

Owen Wilson stars as a dad who's not around much because he happens to be a secret superhero. But this is really Walker Scobell's movie. His impressive debut was opposite Ryan Reynolds in The Adam Project.

At his young age, he's already demonstrating charisma and comic chops. When dad leaves town for an emergency rescue, son invites his close friends to party, where they stumble upon the titular location full of cool stuff.

Of course, there's a greedy corporate giant out to weaponize the tech (Michael Peña, providing an amusing villain). Although adults play into the story, this really revolves around the group of young teens, so expect some relationship drama too.

Overall, there's sufficient energy, cool visuals and plucky characters to make it enjoyable for the intended young audience.
