It was a good movie with good jokes, Jack Black's Bowser stole the entire show with his comedic take on wanting to marry "peaches." Mario and Luigi's relationship was wholesome. Chris Pratt actually works as mario because Mario is an everyman that stands up for what he believes in. The refrences were the best part of the movie especially the music.
The only thing that made it a 4/5 is three things.
1.toad felt underdeveloped
2.the story felt flat I wanted a bit more substance like SpiderVerse and Lego Movie
3. The weird thing about dads that DK and Mario had in common that made me uncomfortable when watching the scene
If you want an adaptation with actual plot/substance but also good comedy and refrences than watch Spiderverse and Lego Movie. Its an okay kids movie but it works as a mario movie.
