SEEN 11 SEPT
Solid OTT watch — exactly the kind of film that works better at home than it might have in a theatre. Nothing here demands the big screen, but nothing here disappoints either. The central performance carries scenes that would otherwise feel fairly routine. Dialogue writing has some genuinely sharp moments scattered through otherwise functional scenes. Background score occasionally oversells emotional beats that didn't need the extra push. A comfortable, well-made film without much ambition beyond being comfortable and well-made. Not a must-watch but a perfectly pleasant way to spend an evening.

That's a fair point about the pacing, didn't notice it on my first watch.
Watched with a packed house, made a real difference.
I had a slightly different reaction but I see where you're coming from.
Seen it twice now and picked up new details both times.
The comedy track actually landed for once.
The interval block alone is worth the ticket honestly.
Some of the VFX was rough but the story carried it.

Honestly this deserved a much wider release.
Adding this to my list based on your review.
Second half could've been twenty minutes shorter, no?

Family loved it, I was a bit more mixed.
Fair review. The hype around it was doing a lot of work though.

Took a while to get going but absolutely worth it.

The background score did all the heavy lifting in the emotional bits.
