      jackson p this movie is amazing! I love the books, read every one, even the prequel, and the movie nailed the feeling of the books. I love the movie, it was really fun to watch, and it was just amazing to see my favorite book series get a movie. but I was weirded out why the cast looked different. the mom had curly hair, Timmy didn't have a mullet, and yeah, that's it. I do recommend it to anyone that likes dumb detectives. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/23/23 Full Review Ryley Joseph M This movie should be brought back to Disney+. The adults may not like it, but us kids do! And there is a bunch of us. We just couldn't give you reviews. Here's the board. 134 5 stars 93 4 stars 46 3 stars 23 2 stars 15 1 star 0 0 stars See, us middle schoolers need it back PLEASE DISNEY+, BRING HIM BACK! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/12/23 Full Review Jeffrey M Timmy Failure : Mistakes Were Made was an amazing movie. I watched it kind of a long time ago, but I remember this movie was amazing. Timmy Failure was super funny, and I LOVE funny. It's the best. I remember I read the book series of Timmy Faulure after the movie, which was so good. But what I don't understand is how this movie got a 60% for audience. This movie doesn't deserve a 60% for audience, that's barely a bad audience score. Timmy Failure needs higher audience scores. Anyway, what a good movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/19/23 Full Review Rose T Definitely recommend! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Adapted from a book series by Stephan Pastis. A Portland, Oregon fifth grader creates a detective agency to help solve the mysteries of being a kid. Winslow Fegley plays the titular kid and does a great job holding up the movie playing a quirky kid. There are actually some good special effects in this film. The story was engaging and got a few laugh out loud moments from me. I believe this film is worth your time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review spencer p An original live-action kids comedy that deals with serious issues from a warmly whimsical perspective, but not every positive message gets told, that should have.

      Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) For a seemingly innocuous project, there's substance here for adults to unpack with younger viewers, which is a boon. Rated: 3/5 Nov 27, 2020 Full Review James Dyer Empire Magazine A frothy fantasy about a boy and his bear that makes up for in style what it lacks in substance. Rated: 3/5 Mar 25, 2020 Full Review Kevin Crust Los Angeles Times There's a sequence about an hour in when "Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made" is briefly jolted from its hard-boiled slumber... More such scenes may have elevated it from simply being fodder for a streaming service. Feb 7, 2020 Full Review Lonita Cook KCTV5 News at 9 An odd, but enjoyable flick... This film is what happens when ridiculous and amazing collide. Sep 15, 2021 Full Review Tim Brayton Alternate Ending It has a wildly, indescribably unlikable protagonist. Rated: 2/5 Jan 13, 2021 Full Review Brandon Zachary CBR Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made is a perfectly childish film, with the direction, script and cast combining to bring an imaginative sense of wonder.
