About This Movie

So, 'Son of Dinosaurs' is this quirky blend of comedy and documentary that really captures the imagination. Directed by Richard Jones, it’s all about Gary and Eric—two kids who get handed a dinosaur egg by the eccentric Dr. Lizardi. The pacing is kind of whimsical, taking you from amusement park antics at Knott's Berry Farm to real-life digs in the Canadian Badlands. The practical effects are surprisingly charming, giving that delightful retro vibe. You feel this genuine enthusiasm for paleontology, wrapped in a light-hearted adventure. The performances are playful, and there's a certain innocence to it that feels refreshing. It’s not your typical dinosaur flick, which is what makes it stand out in a sea of similar narratives.
