Ace Wonder is a great movie for family night! This fun film has it all, action, humor, lovable characters, and a great mystery. This is one film you'll want to watch again and again with the whole family.

When a mysterious message addressed to Derek appears at the funeral, he has to follow the clues. But it seems they all lead to only dead ends. What Derek needs is help, help from an expert detective. What he needs is Ace Wonder.

This is an adventure the whole family is sure to love. It's Sherlock Holmes and Indiana Jones wrapped up in a cute little kid.

Every young and young at heart adventurer should see this film over and over again, Ace Wonder is on his way to becoming the next big Sherlock Holmes. This film has a Dove Foundation approval making it enjoyable for the entire family to watch, a plus for those of us who like good clean movies. This flick has every emotion one could have and a plot to keep you hanging on. Gator and Derek play great leads and hold the movie together. John Moore has proved once again what a great and wonderful talent he has, kudos John. Keep up the excellent work and we all look forward to your next big hit, hopefully we see more of the Great Detective - Ace Wonder.

I am so happy to have found this gem in Amazon Prime video. It was charmingly unaffected and very well put together. The plot was interesting from the first scene. It not only kept my attention, I was caught up in the mystery and enjoyed each and every moment that these wonderful characters were on screen working together. I found the main characters extremely likable and relatable. Some reviewers stated "how horrible" the acting was. They are apparently far to self-important to be able to appreciate this great film for what it is; a refreshingly fun, family friendly mystery with an interesting set of characters in a beautiful location that put a smile on my face. I hope you will give it a watch. I also hope that Mr. Moore and his family will be kind enough to grace us with at least another Ace Wonder movie.

Nothing bad to say. Really enjoyable film to watch. Follow the clues and don't jump to conclusions. One of the best movies to sit and watch with your kids. Don't believe negative reviews. May be too clean for some looking for more raunch. Best of all worlds. Clean, fun, mystery. Lot of action. Great characters. Gator is my favorite (ace). He pulls it all together. Christian family production who also did Widows Mite. You will be glad you watched this. Sequel should be in wings. Another Sherlock Holmes in the making. You try to piece the evidence to solve the mystery but you need the characters to help you. Teamwork. Don't give up. Great role models and lessons to learn

Found it on Peacock; entertained me & happy ending, which is not a spoiler, but what I like to see at the end of a movie. Some acting was fine, some was not the greatest, but in this case, I didn't care.
