Dave Franco – Screen Zealots

“Hoppers”

Everything you want from an animated adventure: laughs, thrills, a little edge, and a big message about why caring about the world matters.

While not the fresh reinvention the franchise needs, this latest installment is still an entertaining popcorn movie.

It’s melodramatic and corny, but the film also captures women’s inner lives with honesty as grief and love intertwine.

Silly and weird, the film is definitely too long for what it is (a one-joke gag). But the bizarre, oddball humor works well enough.

This gritty, bloody, and brash thriller / love story was one of my favorites to come out of this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

This thriller isn’t exactly edge-of-your-seat stuff, but it’s certainly disturbing.
