Predictable and simplistic, yet the film deserves credit for tackling grief and emotional complexity in a format digestible for families and children.

FANATICAL ABOUT FILM!
Movies are our religion and the theater our church. Our gods are named Tarantino, Anderson and Scorsese.
We attend services 3-4 times a week and take our communion in the form of soda and popcorn. We offer up these reviews in hopes of pleasing our deities.
Please share your own comments on our reviews. We encourage all forms of respectful debate. We are, after all, “Fanatical About Film”!

“Happy Gilmore 2”
A disappointing sequel that leans too heavily on tired gags, lazy callbacks, and cameos that exist solely to poke the audience and say, “hey, remember this guy?”
“Terrestrial”
A genre-blending indie thriller with a touch of horror and Hollywood satire, this isn’t a bad film: it just bites off more than it can chew.
“The Bad Guys 2”
A sequel that dares to deepen its characters and themes rather than just replaying the laziest hits.
“Oh, Canada”
The film’s cold tone is more cerebral than emotional, and its slow, talky pace feels brutally suffocating.
“The Fantastic Four: First Steps”
It’s so nice to see a Marvel film that isn’t trying desperately to be forcefully stuffed into an extended universe timeline.
