Noel Murray Los Angeles Times These lessons may be corny, but when set to the right beat, they’re still catchy. Jun 27, 2023 Full Review Amy Nicholson New York Times Suresh performed in the aughts, but wears ’90s Timberlands and worships the ’80s hitmaker Doug E. Fresh. Maybe the whiz kid can calculate the rate at which nostalgia flattens time? Yet, the script is otherwise attuned to the emotional and comedic details Jun 23, 2023 Full Review Robert Levin Newsday The musical sequences are great, but there's much more to "World's Best" than that. Rated: 3/4 Jun 23, 2023 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) I loved the relationship between father and son and their bond Jan 8, 2024 Full Review Emma Clark-Dow Stuff.co.nz An extremely wholesome, kid-friendly watch. Jul 14, 2023 Full Review Joel Keller Decider The story doesn’t have the extreme highs and lows of other coming-of-age films, but that just leads to a story that more closely resembles real life than most films in this genre.

Too silly Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/20/23 Full Review Jeffrey M World's Best was an amazing movie. I finished it just now and I really liked it. World's Best was a movie that was funny when it was funny. World's Best was a very interesting movie. It started off a bit cheesy, but then it became not cheesy at all. What a good movie. I give it a 76%. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/28/23 Full Review diogo13 Este filme não cumpre exatamente a tarefa da maneira que seu protagonista costuma fazer. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review J P I loved this. Great story. Great characters. And anything Ambudkar is in nowadays feels like it just turns to gold, but all of the actors were phenomenal in their roles. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/23 Full Review Ethan A It was extremely goofy. Was that a good thing- yes and no Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
