Dylan Wright

Movies that envoke a physical emotional response deserve praise, especially a cynical person as I am. Not perfect, but my wife cried like a dozen times and I cried a few myself. The second half hits it out of the park in a "Pixar runs on tears" type of way (ik not Pixar, but similar concept). I've never understood imaginary friends even as kid, just wasn't a thing for me, and if it can still hit someone overly logical like me in the feels, it's gone a great job. Also, the kids (10 & 4) loved it as well. 8.5/10 Spoiler so only if you have seen it read on.... ... ... If the dad had died at the end, I would have balled my eyes out. May have been a dark way to run it, but can't help but notice there was an opportunity to make this legendary. Just a thought.

Spoilers I guess? -How do you slip on peanuts? Twice?? That's not how peanuts work, there's clumsy then there's basic logic -Teacher is over the top awful. She's the devil. -The Dad... wow. Gives up immediately. Could have put more effort there. -How did he not see her under a very visible table?? -Villian is so predictable my kid said "yeah that's the bad guy" very early on -Speaking of, beyond predictable -Neither kids could sit through it -Grandma almost kills them both on a motorcycle, has no license, and steals a car? I guess screw whoever car that was -Gaming does not equal foresight. I'm a gamer, but that's not how it works. It's called repetition and practice -Actual practice is completely ignored -Certain things are ignored until the plot needs them -Sooo boring +It's short +Message is good, getting past overly obvious tropes +Animation can be really good at some levels, like wool and the comic like pop ups +I Need A Hero 2/10, would not watch again.
