Audience Member The movie was certified fresh in my opinion…… certified fresh pile of poopy Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Cecil is a cute story - makes it easy to poke fun at the adults while the kids figure things out. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Was poopy. Only rated it half a star because I couldn't rate it 0. I'd probably watch it again though just so I could insult the writers more. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Gem of a family comedy. Love the 90's references and unique characters. Cecil. Abby, and Martha have great chemistry and look like they are having great time. Love the message about acceptance of yourself and others! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Cecil is an amazing film, truly incredible. It's both funny and sincere while it tackles true concerns we all face as kids. The acting is spot on and the creativity and storyline are definitely worth a watch. You won't be disappointed by this movie. I look forward to what's next by this director/producer! You gotta check out this film! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Good, fun movie. The writing is spot on for the genre, takes me back to my childhood days. The children actors are truly enjoyable and the pacing keeps you laughing throughout the film. As an independent production it had a few cosmetic and audio flaws but nothing that takes you too far out of the experience. I recommend this movie as a family film or to anyone who was an 80's or 90's baby. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
