Too Old For Fairy Tales is hard to pin down, so rather than try and fail, I will simply recommen it...It’s not what you might expect at first and really never remains one thing for too long in a way that reflects the movements of life and growing up.

Rated: 7.5/10

While Too Old for Fairy Tales has an endearing plot, it takes a while to get to the good stuff.

Rated: 3/5

Movie Nation

An aimless, amiable coming-of-age ramble about a video game addict who has to grow up — at least a little — when his mother gets sick.

Rated: 2/4

“Nice” is the strongest descriptor I can conjure for this movie, which is ever so slightly too meandering for its own good, and leans too heavily on cliches and familiarities

Ready Steady Cut

With a nice, wholesome ending, overall this film is an easy, sweet, quirky watch. I’d recommend for younger audiences; some adults, mostly parents, might find parts to relate to.

Rated: 2.5/5

Super cute family friendly movie. Coming of age in the 21st century…without sex, drugs, gangs, tons of foul language. Tugs at the heart strings and sprinkled with humor.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
