Teddy B A piece of work that feels so unimpressive yet predictable that you have to resort to nitpicking just to stimulate yourself. So - why does 'Romeo & Juliet' have so many more pages than it's supposed to, how does a girl fall the height of a courthouse and survive (I do not care that there is a trampoline outside), and why does this film want to cram 'The Pagemaster' and 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' together anyways? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/11/24 Full Review Tyler M Meh acting and meh plot and crappy ending, But like this amount of stars say; Meh it passed the time Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/07/23 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 01 hours: and 09 minutes ever!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/23 Full Review Lucas F Excellent movie ngl, I saw it for the first time on a Spanish TV channel, and it just fell so magical to see, superb story (However I never read the book but in my opinion almost perfect) 9/10 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Dave H Lots of comic-book-level dialog, with characters stating the obvious or trying for clever quips that are actually pretty lame. Not one of the characters felt remotely real. The premise makes no sense. The story had quite a few ideas that might have worked except the writers seemed to be terrified of actually committing to any of them, resulting in a stew of half-baked plot threads. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/28/22 Full Review Audience Member Featuring the greatest cast of live-action movie stars, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All families are admitted, allowed, awesome, and not ****ing ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Funny, original content, and brief scenes of the best suspense ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
