'Goosebumps' is a fun family comedy/horror hybrid. It plays to all ages easily. The zippy action/adventure plot stays focused on it's end destination and never gets sidetracked. Likable characters spout some decent quips amidst the constant barrage of monster fighting. I would've liked to have seen more of an attempt at scares. That said, there are entertaining encounters with the huge ensemble of creatures. Those familiar with the book series might get a little more nostalgia enjoyment through seeing all of them in one place. I definitely enjoyed this movie more than originally anticipated.
