Reviews
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
