Ernie lives with his single mom and sister Julie. Mom believes in rules and Ernie does not. Julie lives for catching Ernie breaking the rules. Max is Ernie's best friend and son of single dad inventor Dr. Santiago. (Unwritten Hollywood Rule: If you have an Hispanic-American you don't need an African-American.) They all live in Terra Town, a placed based on dinosaur fossils.
Dr. Santiago happens to have built a time machine in his garage which doesn't work until the kids enact "The Pepsi Syndrome" and speak the childhood mantra "I didn't do it." They go back in time where they meet dinosaurs who can talk to each other, but not to humans.
Ernie speaks to us from asides. A fun film for kids, but may not be the one they watch repeatedly.

Mediocre entertainment for the kids
Very little for the adults. While somewhat entertaining for the kids, it relies mostly on the "less wholesome" elements for entertainment, i.e. fart jokes, crashes, smart remarks, rather than the clever plots you expect from the more mainstream AAA animated titles. As for the animation quality, it tends more toward the low end of what is expected of computer animation in 2015. The people are OK, the non-humans are fairly simple, and the terrain and environment at times don't mesh well with the action-- especially the water scenes. The animation quality is clearly not central to the movie, but to claim they were relying on the rest? The plot is simple, and the story idea is bizarre and not very logical or clever. Overall, it can entertain the kids (at least some of them) for a while, but definitely no comparison to the big animated movies.

Worst script ever written
My kids enjoyed this, don't get me wrong. But they're 4.
What possessed the actors to read this script and STILL say yes to putting their name to this movie I don't know. It tries desperately hard to be funny and doesn't succeed. The characters are undeveloped, the plot doesn't make sense and the interactions between the characters is nonsensical. At times it's like the script writers were told they had 2 minutes to complete it and rushed to do it as fast as possible.
Terrible. I cringed so hard through the whole thing!!!
