The music was bad, the animal sidekicks werenโt funny. I didnโt feel an emotional connection to any character in the movie. The movie didnโt make me laugh. It didnโt make me cry. The new Lin-Manuel songs were bad, the score throughout the movie was worse. Halle Baileyโs performance was eh. She has a pretty voice and a prettier smile but her acting was just eh. In fact I canโt say any character in the movie could act their way out of a paper bag. Eric was ok. Likeable guy. Why was his mom black? That was weird. Why was scuttle a girl? And why was she so unfunny? How was it the same exact movie word-for-word as a movie I love yet I disliked it so much? Thatโs confusing to me, but still I disliked it very much. Your thoughts?
