T Hunt

It had potential. The trailer makes it look better than it is. The 2nd half was better than the first. I watched it with my boys, the oldest left the room. The youngest was disinterested and the middle 2 (16&10) were okay with it. But the beginning had too many sexual things. Close ups of body parts and references that we didn’t need to see. Characters that made you feel uncomfortable and kissing that was done without consent. We laughed a few times but the [lack of] plot couldn’t be saved by the big names in the cast. I guessed from the beginning the plot twist and kept waiting for the main characters parents to show up. I thought, well it has to be the uncle… but it wasn’t. The movie was creative but it’s based on a book so of course it’s creative. I’m interested if the book has so much sexual content & holes in the plot. If you’re okay with movies showing cleavage and such, you’ll be ok with this movie. If not, you’ll regret the time spent. It’s not as bad as turning red but I can’t say I would recommend it. Maybe on vid angel where you can cut out the unnecessary things.

All of the reviews about the bad words and disobedience are correct. I watched this with my 17 & 9yo boys… they both kept saying, “This movie is weird. Even weirder than Mitchell’s vs the machines.” Other things also stood out to me. Why is the mom so much larger than everyone else in her family? And if you can just smash your necklace or bracelet then turn human again at the next red moon, why not just do that? Also how is everyone okay with her becoming a big red panda? It’s not like that’s normal in their world. So wouldn’t that freak ppl out? How can everyone know it’s her and not be scared by her choosing to stay a panda after she lost her temper on that one boy? So many things don’t add up. At least in other magic type movies (frozen, even toy story) ppl react realistically. It felt like a Made for TV / Disney channel movie that Disney specifically made for teenage girls. I could relate to the boy band thing, but my sons & husband definitely couldn’t. I just don’t get why they marketed it with only the panda part, then so much of the movie is about getting your period for the first time, being boy crazy, or rebelling. Encanto explained family issues and rebellious nature better. I feel as if the coming back together as a family but still “being true to who you are” was better as well in Encanto & Luca. The parents are worried but still support their child in the end. I didn’t feel like in the end of this movie the 13yo girl has consequences for actions. The mom just accepted her daughter is “now a women” and they all moved on. I wanted to recommend it but it’s got too many holes to be a good Disney quality movie. It just felt rushed and too cheaply made.
