This is one of the better movies disney has made in a while. That being said its still not great. Just like other movies they have been making, there is not great character development. It feels like the characters are foreign and we never really connect with them. It all feels very surface level like meeting a stranger in passing, almost like there is no main cast. Also the story line was not half bad, however, some parts need additional context. It feels like I should have watched another movie before this for additional context. Emotions between characters are disconnected. Ben and Travis are supposed to have developed a bond and I know that from the story but their interactions do not show that. Same with Travis' mother and Ben. They have a romantic interest and I get that from the story but they emotional do not connect. Same with Ben and the Preacher. Interactions between characters do not match what the story is trying to show. The story felt rushed almost like they wanted to pack in so much and then ended up summarizing portions of the movie. Disney needs to step their game up dramatically. The newer movies do not stand a chance against older disney movies. The cast needs better acting talent, stories need to be deeper, and character development needs more focus. Please stop relying and special effects, past track record and advertising hype to get people into your movies. Those will never replace talented actors, deep story lines and solid production. I will watch Parent Trap 1000 more times before I rewatch this. Step it up Disney, step it up.
