For a movie that the studio tried to neglect in the hopes that no one would notice its existence, this was unexpectedly good. Go to Full Review

It’s not an especially strong picture, but as this type of entertainment goes, it has polish and some decent ideas to share with little ones concerning kindness and acceptance. Go to Full Review

movie ranking 3d WHAT IS MR BEAST DOING HERE?!?!?!?! See more Pedro Henrique C @Pedro2005 Oct 16 Under the Boardwalk (2023) It's a lovely and simple animation, but it doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Paramount Pictures should have invested more. See more Dave W Oct 4 Ughhhhhh what a formulaic and unoriginal plot with all the standard characters and tropes that one would expect from such a movie. The songs were not good and the singing was worse- especially the male protagonist. Westside Story (Romeo and Juliet) except with less real characters, more overt messaging and worse music… and crabs. See more Esperanza Margarita S @esperancita Sep 11 Ok, I don t like the ORIGINAL songs and the history but the animacion is pretty good so... I recomend it BUT what it at LATAM spanish. See more Calvin O @Caltus Sep 11 A very formulaic movie that goes through all the storybeats in the way you would expect. A pocahontas like story where two lovers meet from different factions. A girl that wants to leave her sheltered live and see the world. A guy that is a little too shy and finds it hard to fit in. It has all been done before and borders the line of cliche. The only praise I can give in terms of originality are it's setting. Some effort was put into the world building. And the very musical like structure. Though most songs are pretty standard, and not much to write home about. It does feel like a musical with some production value. See more TROYS S May 19 The animation is up to standard. The story is good. The humor is very clever and plays into many classic stereotypes with the Jersey accent and is very clever, and the songs are Amazing See more Read all reviews
