Movie's got about 40 minutes left. Incredibly silly and simplistic, and yet you can't help but smile and enjoy it even though you could've written the plot yourself on a bar napkin while half-drunk. I think one of the early reviews said it was "Rocky" with rivets, which applies. It's actually one of the few films I can remember seeing where the inability of the film to commit to one thing actually makes it better; most films, when they can't make up their minds, end up being lesser than if they'd gone more in one direction than another (e.g. "Super 8" as a horror film and a coming-of-age story). This one actually seems to work better because it's such a blend (Rocky, Boy And His Dog, redemption, "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots", special effects, heartwarming Disney-ish tale, etc.,.). |
