Phantom Of The Megaplex takes a couple of urban legends and weaves them into a tale told for the family. All in a day's work in the life of young Taylor Handley the assistant manager of a 26 screen Megaplex movie theater. I don't think I've been to one with more than 15 screens.When this Megaplex was built an old style movie palace was torn down and legend has it that someone was buried alive inside the wreckage and haunts the new Megaplex. The old owner of the movie palace is played by Mickey Rooney and he hangs around the new theater and is something of a character.But on a big premiere night all kinds of things start to go wrong and Handley is the man on the job. In addition to his sleuthing and emergency management he also has to look after younger siblings Caitlin Wachs and Jacob Smith.Who do some sleuthing of their own and find in the lower depths of the building much like the Phantom Of The Opera, a lair that Mickey Rooney has created for himself.All in all a nice family film, not to taxing.

I really enjoyed this movie back when it came out and am so sad that Disney insists on making new movies every month while completely forgetting their classic older ones, which are much more enjoyable than the new cheesy ones. The plot is simple enough: A big movieplex is playing home to a huge Hollywood premier. They are still showing films (a little odd) right up until the second of the premier, but someone (a mysterious phantom...) is thwarting everything and causing general mayhem. Who is this phantom? Why is he doing this? A cute film that is predictable but plays out well, the characters are good and relatable to everyone. This film seems to have really captured what it is like working in a theater, which I am now thinking twice about doing. I loved the contemporary take on Phantom of the Opera as well. I wish they would show this more on Disney, it really is a great movie for everyone of all ages. The footage from the original Phantom movie was a nice touch.

i think that this movie was good. you have to remember that this is a disney movie and it is meant for kids to enjoy. most adults would think its a waste of time watching and give it a bad rating, but kids would like it. some of the actors could have been played by better actors, and they could have made it longer, but i still liked it.
