Charles H @RT52246451 03/01/2024 good movie. would recommend. See more Carlotta 4 @RT17636057 12/24/2021 Caveat of this review will be very much personal preference and not necessarily an indicator of technical quality. The thing that impressed me most in this show were the children actors, who did a great job both acting, singing, and dancing considering their ages. Fantastic work to all of them! But other than that (and the "music man" segment which had good energy and some jokes) I just didn't see the point of the show. It's a humor that doesn't jell with my own, I don't find children saying/doing adult things in and of itself hilarious--I think those things should also themselves be funny. This includes the musical segments of which 90% were pointless (no jokes, no quips... how is a kid singing about how he only eats macaroni either interesting or funny?!). There was no cohesive narrative either. The show is clearly imitating Sesame Street in particular but even Sesame street has a plot or word for the day to vaguely tie it together! This show did not. One random uneventful thing to another. So I spent the entire film really quite bored and glancing at the clock a lot. I don't need to delve too much further on that because I really do applaud the work the kids put into their parts, it didn't fail from lack of effort on their ends. See more 06/01/2021 My husband's a huge fan of John's and he thought this was okay, but my kid thought it was weird. I thought it was a little strange and not for kids. It felt like it was trying too hard to be hip. Maybe that's the vibe? My kid has always hated "kids" shows, and has thought them creepy since forever. I must admit, after working many kids shows in my last theatre job, the people who tour with kids are not healthy people, nor do they understand children. I'm not saying John blasted the kids out of my theatre with raver jams until they were all screaming experiencing their first panic attack in hell as their ears bled to "Try it! Try it! Food is good" unsung by some martian furry puppet which can't move its mouth, but, he's better off with the stand-ups... See more 05/12/2021 When I think back on this show it makes me physically annoyed with how much of a failure this is. This is too alt for the alt room. It tries so hard to be the antithesis if children's programming and be cooler than the room and fails to understand what made those other things great. I wish I could forget this and if you enjoy it; you are lying to yourself. This is the opposite of entertainment. I'd rather stare at a blank wall See more dave d @RT34924333 12/05/2020 John Mulaney and a gang of mostly kids put on a fun musical for hubby and wife date night. Laughs abound, but wife loved how precise the music was. Since hubby is uncultured swine and doesn't do nuance he gives the movie an 8/10. Wife on the other hand has manners and gives it a 10/10. Average: 9/10 See more 10/08/2020 Loved it. Unique comedy. See more Read all reviews
