Tom Foolery

The show's scripted like a poorly-written Nickelodeon show. Most of the actors are D-list and don't offer anything special/memorable to the cast, which isn't bad in itself, but it's disappointing to see wasted potential. The recurring protagonists don't particularly offer anything either, often relying on outside characters for developing the plot to never use them again. What really did me in was the featuring of Alan Ritchson (Jack Reacher) as the father. If you've seen the show 'Reacher' you know this man can act. But this show makes him look like a bumbling buffoon. I REALLY wanted to like this show. A show about a high schoolers grappling with cancer? There's so much potential and it's executed past the point of laughably bad, it's saddening. Tell you what...Play a drinking game: if you see a scene or "punchline" with bad acting or bad execution, take a shot. You'll be falling down the stairs by 20 minutes. Obnoxious laugh tracks. Bad acting. Bad writing. Bad characters. PLEASE do not watch.

Great replayability. The game doesn't take itself seriously and there has been moments where the character banter is actually really entertaining. The story is garbage and some character notices are questionable and bland. However, the premise of running through the same levels over and over gets tiresome at times considering there's only 4 acts at base game. It's not enough to take a star off though. Great job, Turtle Rock!

The main protagonists, the two kids, take backseat in their own movie as the parents have a comedic and funny chemistry to compliment an otherwise empty plot. The implementation of the video game and real life is a cool concept, but the villain's motivations are shallow and this is even more so when he just...hands over the very thing that he built for so long to "change the world". The ending is decent but it's a low swing to reach "feel-good" resolutions. The CGI is lovingly bad though, just like the originals. And the CGI characters have good voice actors for them but it's just a nothing burger of a movie.
