Until now, Zak Gibbs' greatest challenge has been to find a way to buy a car. But when he discovers an odd wristwatch amidst his father's various inventions and slips it on -- something very strange happens. The world around him seems to come to a stop, everything and everybody frozen in time. Zak quickly learns how to manipulate the device and he and his quick-witted and beautiful new friend, Francesca, start to have some real fun.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

GOOD NEWS - This had a very interesting premise: having time stopped, except for one person wearing a special watch enabling he or she to move around and do anything while everyone else was frozen in time. There were fun special-effects in here, too.BAD NEWS - The dialog and the humor in here was so stupid, so California-like teeny- bopperish that it was almost impossible to watch the entire film....if you are past the age of 18 or have a brain. It was filled with annoying no-name teen actors and filled with plugs for scuzzy magazines like "Cosmopolitan" and other assorted other soft-sleaze stuff. OVERALL - An extremely unlikeable, overrated movie unless you from the age of 11-14 and have poor parents as role models.

---SPOILERS--- I remember only part of this movie, and here's what it was: Zak is some kid whose dad works as a professor, teaching science to high-schoolers. (Or was it college?) He claims that if something was moving very fast, that everything else would seem slower. So, he invents a watch to test it. His son, Zak, steals the watch (I think that's what happened.) and makes him and his lady friend speed through time- which makes everything else seem slower.So, what I remembered about this movie was how unrealistic it was. There were two scenes that were this way.The first one was when their in the garden. The people supposedly go so fast that everything seems slower. How is that possible when the to characters experiencing "super-speed" hardly move at all? The second part was near the ending. Zak somehow speeds up the watch or something, to go even faster. Hyper-speed? Super-time?Well, this part just about messed up the whole movie. If he's going so fast, how does he get caught in a net? When they were slower, everything else showed no sign of motion. Now, when he's in "hyper-time" he gets caught in a net gun. Why? How? To make a story? I think the kids might enjoy it, but the adults should stay far away. That's all I really have to say.Feel free to send me a Private Message regarding this comment.

Once again we see that a story might not sparkle in itself, but when the same story are combined with wild effects it can make a decent hour or two of escapism. As with Clockstoppers. The problem is that the idea behind the "time-travel-like" ideology that bears the movie is to far-fetched for even the most fanatical phantasm-believer to swallow. Please give us a little more credit next time. Don't expect us to just accept stupid lines and ideas anymore. Be fantastic with a realistic viewpoint. Now I will not be the one to say that I could have done it better. Because I couldn't. But if you had asked someone before you made it, to sift away the unbelievable stuff, the movie would have been better off...

from the beginning I didn't have the highest of expectations for clockstoppers; I knew it was going to be a fantastical fiction that was far from reality. I was simply hoping to sit down, turn off my brain, and be entertained. But come on, this is just insulting. The entire movie is riddled with so many plot holes, I am troubled to think that somebody actually sat down and wrote it. However the acting and special effects are all you could hope for from a Nick movie, and to be honest the ideas behind it are very entertaining. In short, not a bad movie to watch with a young kid, but if you find yourself constantly screaming, "Whhaaaaatt?!?" at your TV, don't say I didn't warn you.
