Well, everyone, welcome back to my new monthly segment that I just started on this blog a couple months ago, called Flight Into The World Of Walt Disney Animation Studios/Disney/Pixar, a segment that I’ve added to my movie reviewing set in which, once a month, I take an animated film from one of those two animated film libraries, whether it be an older film, or a newer one, and review it. Now, for those of you that have seen a certain newer Disney/Pixar film that was just released earlier this month, or at least aware that that one’s already out, I bet you’re all wondering why I haven’t seen, and/or am reviewing that film this month. Well, fear not, for I am saving that review for next month, since I was planning to see that one closer to the time of my birthday that occurs then. Anyway, in the meantime, for this month, we are going to be reviewing a Disney animated film that was released during the time that this animation company was simply known as Walt Disney Pictures. Of course, keep in mind that this was just a couple years before the Walt Disney Company bought out Pixar for $7.4 billion, and John Lasseter renamed this animation company Walt Disney Animation Studios, and, thus, became the Chief Creative Officer of both Disney/Pixar, and Walt Disney Animation Studios for a long while. Just two years before all that transpired, however, the Walt Disney Company released a lesser known Disney animated film that ended up being infamous for one thing in particular. That being that this Disney animated film was a flop. As a result of this film, along with a string consisting of a few other Disney animated films released shortly before it, being flops as well, except for Lilo & Stitch, and likely even Brother Bear, it ended up killing off hand-drawn animation for the next five years, until Disney, again, under new leadership, released The Princess & The Frog in 2009. So now, let’s go back to 2004, when Disney was still under the era of Michael Eisner, before he apparently got ousted from Disney over a year later following this film’s release. Ladies, and gentlemen, I present to you all my review of Disney’s last hand-drawn animated feature for the next five years, the one, and only, Disney’s 45th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animation Studios canon, Home On The Range.

Plot: Shortly after Maggie the cow (Rosanne Barr), is taken to a farm by the name of Patch Of Heaven, Pearl (Carole Cook), the owner of the farm, is informed by Sheriff Sam Brown (Richard Riehle) that her farm will be auctioned off in three days, unless she can somehow pay the bank $750 by then. After Maggie hears of a way in which one can collect that same amount, she, along with two other cows, Mrs. Calloway (Judi Dench), and Grace (Jennifer Tilly) set out to save the farm. With the help of some newer friends that they encounter along the way, such as an egotistical horse named Buck (Cuba Gooding Jr.), and a rabbit named Lucky Jack (Charles Haid), can they either get the reward, and/or stop a greedy outlaw named Alameda Slim (Randy Quaid), and his henchmen trio, and nephews, the Wiley Brothers (Sam J. Levine), who want Patch Of Heaven for themselves, from secretly buying the farm out?

Now, I’ve seen Home On The Range on many Disney animated feature lists, and ranked as one of the company’s worst Disney animated films on many of those lists. I even remember giving this film a D- when I did my Disney marathon just ten years ago, when doing movie reviewing mainly on Facebook. So, after rewatching this film again this time around, is it safe to say that I still stand by that grade/rating? Well, though not quite that low this time around, Home On The Range still does end up being one of Disney’s weaker films. First of all, I’m not sure if Disney decided to just not try as hard with this film due to previous recent releases of theirs like The Emperor’s New Groove, Atlantis: The Lost Empire only being modest successes in theaters, or the fact that Treasure Planet bombed st the box-office, or if Disney was just trying to look for any, and every excuse to make the move into making future films computer animated like the films of Disney/Pixar, and DreamWorks, for instance. Or, maybe Disney that this film would have been successful with its audience like with many other films before it? Yeah, I’m sure there’s plenty of speculation as to why Disney decided to make Home On The Range the way that they did. Anyway, I remember first hearing of Home On The Range when going on vacation with family, and friends, and briefly seeing drawings, and posters of it while at the former Disney animation studio at MGM/Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida. Basically, we were having a tour at the studio, and seeing the process of them making the upcoming Disney film, Brother Bear. Anyway, during that time, they showed sketches, and drawings of Home On The Range, as that was the film that would follow Brother Bear, and said it would come out in 2004. Then, when some family, and I saw Brother Bear when that got released in theaters in November 2003, we saw the preview for Home On The Range. I will say that I wasn’t as excited for it as I had been for many other Disney films. Nevertheless, because I was one that continually saw Disney films that would get released, I was willing to give Home On The Range a chance. After seeing the film when it got released in April 2004, I didn’t think it was exactly horrible, but definitely not one of Disney’s best works either. Well, I hope you guys didn’t mind me incorporating the story of my experience with this Disney film, as it is likely a fairly long one to tell. Now, on to the actual review itself!

So why is Home On The Range not exactly one of their best works? Well, though there are a few good things going for it, the way that this film is executed story wise is not exactly the best. For one, the film was probably a little too short. Yes, it was around an hour, and fifteen minutes. Now, let me clarify. I haven’t minded especially animated films having such a fairly shorter runtime like that, as even Disney’s older animated works like Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs, and Sleeping Beauty also had similar runtimes like that. However, in a case like Home On The Range, that didn’t seem long enough to flesh it’s characters out, for the most part, and there didn’t seem to be as much heart to this film as a result. I mean there were relationships that felt way too rushed, some character arcs that almost came out of the blue, and even some potential twists that either truly felt like twists, or you kind of saw coming from the beginning.

In addition to all of this, there were a lot of burp, and fart jokes that didn’t exactly seem to land quite as well. Crude jokes like those may chance landed well, and been done with class in films like The Lion King, or Shrek, for instance. However, not quite as much this time around. Additionally, there were points where this film felt a little childish, corny, and a little cheesy at times. There were some cute, and funny moments that will be enjoyable, but a lot of those will be somewhat far, and between.

Then there are the characters. Honestly, the only standouts will probably be the cow trio Maggie, Mrs. Calloway, and Grace, Buck the Horse, or the rabbit Lucky Jack. Oh, and the villain, Alameda Slim, he was a decent one, but, again, probably not going to go down as a memorable Disney villain like most other villains in the Disney animated feature canon. And his henchmen, the Wiley brother trio, oh my gosh, though they tried to be hilarious, they were really corny, and stupid. Some lines from them were hilarious, but, again, they were okay characters overall. Overall, the characters were okay, but they probably won’t leave as much of an impact on children, and adults the way that many other fictional Disney characters have seemed to over the years.

With all that said, what are the strengths of Home On The Range? Well, to begin there’s some of the music by Alan Menken, and lyricist Glenn Slater. First of all, there were at least one, or two good songs, like “You Ain’t Home On The Range”, and “Will The Sun Ever Shine Again?”. The rest of the songs were okay. But the villain song that Slim sings, “Yodel-Adle-Eedle-Idle-Oo”, again, just decent, but hard to take seriously. Still, definitely was good to incorporate some pieces of classical songs in that one, like Yankee Doodle, and Ode To Joy, for example. In addition to that, it was also cool to have a nice Old Western score similar to what one hears in many films that were set in the Old West. Don’t get me wrong, Alan Menken may have had better songs, and scores for films like The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules, and the like. Still, Menken has always used his talents to draw audiences into any story, especially Disney ones. Home On The Range is no exception. One other thing I will say is that even if Home On The Range didn’t seem to fare well with audiences, or even at the box office back in 2004, at least Disney was willing to give Alan Menken, and Glenn Slater another chance to make better songs, and a better score six years later, when Disney released Tangled. And boy, did that seem to pay off.

Then, there’s the animation. Even if the animation could have been a little better, how could you not love the scenes in which the Old West was drawn? I mean the landscape of farms, the animation of deserts most likely in Arizona, the way that characters were designed, how could you not like them to one degree, or another? What’s more, if you liked how realistically characters were drawn in other Disney animated films like say The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, or Atlantis: The Lost Empire, for example, chances are you’ll probably like how realistically most of the characters are drawn in Home On The Range are drawn up as well.

Additionally, there’s some of the characters. Honestly, though the cow trio that consisted of Maggie, Mrs. Calloway, and Grace, was good, and had some highlights, it’s most likely the side characters that will probably be the bigger highlights of the film. Whether it be Lucky Jack the rabbit, Jeb the goat, or especially Buck the horse, they will have probably most of the memorable that one could think of during most scenes that involve them. Especially if you liked Cuba Gooding Jr., he voices Buck. If you thought he was hilarious in other films that he was in, chances are you’ll probably liked seeing him in this film when voicing this character. As for Lucky Jack, part of me wishes the movie was more about him somehow. But hey, for what we got, this film was alright in that regard. Again, though the main characters could have more well written, and more memorable because of that, at least they were alright for what we got from them in the end.

Finally, there’s the storyline. As mentioned before, it could have been structured much better. The first, and second were alright. There were some hilarious moments even in those parts, especially a really hilarious moment that occurs shortly after the cows leave their farm. However, when the third act occurs, that’s really where things pick up, things come together more, and the climax occurs. It’s just too bad the first, and second acts didn’t see quite as good as the third act.

And that’s my review for Disney’s Home On The Range. It was a decent Disney animated film to say the least. Still, personally, for now at least, I would rather spend more quality time with Kenai, and Koda from Brother Bear, Kayley, and Garrett from Warner Bros. Quest For Camelot, or Sinbad from Sinbad: Legend Of The Seven Seas. Yes, a revisit at least of Brother Bear will be coming sometime in the future. Still, for those of you that read my review for Sinbad: Legend Of The Seven Seas last year, you may recall me mentioning that that film had problems, yes? But would I rather watch that DreamWorks one more so than this Disney film? Absolutely. Yes! True, Sinbad: Legend Of The Seven Seas had issues story wise, pacing, the way some characters were developed, and things like that. However, that film still had a better storyline, felt more epic, had better, and more likable characters, and had more heart in its storyline. Now, keep in mind that I’m incorporating Sinbad: Legend Of The Seven Seas in this review due mainly to the fact that that was the last hand-drawn movie from DreamWorks. Not to mention that Sinbad was released in theaters in 2003, just a year before the release of Disney’s Home On The Range. Home On The Range, on the other hand, lacked many of those qualities, and ended up being very lackluster for a Disney animated film as a result. All to say, Home On The Range, it was okay, but could have been way better, especially for being a Disney film, or Disney’s last hand-drawn film for the next five years. I would say only see Disney’s Home On The Range if you want a Disney film with some comedy, decent animation, if you’re okay with subpar songs, or if you are on the trail to seeing every Disney film, animated, or even live-action, that’s been made. Otherwise, maybe skip this one. I’ve heard some people that have seen both 2004’s Home On The Range, and 2005’s Chicken Little thought that the latter was worse than the former. Is that actually the case? Well, I will plan on being the judge of that when I revisit, and review Chicken Little on this blog either in the near, or distant future on this blog.

Final Rating: 6.8/10

And now, ladies, and gentlemen, today, we review the sequel to the 2018 Faith-based hit, the one, and only, I Can Only Imagine 2.

Plot: Bart Millard (J. Michael Finley), and his band, MercyMe, have begun to have success out on the road ever since their song “I Can Only Imagine” hit #1 charts across the U.S., and across the world. But things begin to take a turn for the worst when Sam (Jagger Amor as younger Sam, and Sammy Dell as adult Sam), the son of Bart, and Shannon (Sophie Skelton, replacing Madeline Carroll from the first film) begins to suffer from seizures, and is diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Thus begin the circumstances that led Bart, and the band to write their song, “Even If”, including Bart, and the MercyMe meeting, and teaming up with Tim Timmons (Milo Ventimiglia) for concert tours, and more.

Okay, first of all, as I’m sure some of you may recall, the first I Can Only Imagine film $83.4 million in the US, and $1.8 million in other territories, adding up to a total of $85.2 worldwide. And that was against a budget of $7 million. Yet, it’s sequel, simply titled I Can Only Imagine 2, and which just got released last month, supposedly had a budget of $18 million, and, thus far, only grossed a domestic total of $18,077,281, and a worldwide total of $18,204,729. Why am I bringing up the figures for how much money this faith-based sequel has made in theaters thus far, you may ask? Well, I do so because I believe that begs the question of how it is that 2018’s I Can Only Imagine was really successful, while it’s sequel that got released eight years later, and just this past month, hasn’t even come close to matching the success of it’s predecessor. Do people living here in the US not give faith-based movies as much of a chance nowadays? Did the box-office popularity of more popular films like Wuthering Heights, or animated films like Sony Pictures Animations’ Goat, or even Disney/Pixar’s Hoppers ultimately give I Can Only Imagine 2 a run for it’s money? Did the subject matter feel a little too heavy even for Christians this time around? Or, was this sequel not advertised as much as its predecessor? Well, you know what, I’m sure there is speculation of different kinds as to why I Can Only Imagine has been less popular thus far? Well, one way, or the other, I Can Only Imagine 2 definitely is worth seeing for quite a few reasons.

First of all, like with the first film, this sequel does well with developing the relationships, whether it be Bart’s relationship with his wife, Shannon, and his kids, especially Sam, or even his relationship with Tim Timmons, who would become a great friend of the Mercy Me band. What’s more is that when it comes to scenes that involve Bart Millard, and Tim Timmons conversing with each other, J. Michael Finley, and Milo Ventimiglia work well off of each other. Plus, hearing from a bio of Ventimiglia’s that he feels honored to even be in the role of Tim Timmons, that’s really cool too.

Then, there’s the music, and score. First of all, the score was great, and helped make this film even more moving, and touching. In addition to that being the case, it is also great to hear a little bit of some of Mercy Me’s other songs that were published between songs “I Can Only Imagine”, and “Even If”, be it songs like “The Hurt & The Healer”, and some others throughout the film.

In addition to these factors, the cinematography was also really great. Regardless, of where you live in the US, how could you not see, and appreciate the beauty of places that this film takes us to, particularly the arches, and spires of Red Rocks Amphitheater, and more? Even when it comes to the venues that Mercy Me, and Tim Timmons perform at, or seeing stormy nights, those are also sights to behold.

Lastly, what really is the selling point of I Can Only Imagine 2. First of all, why is this film only given that title? Why not call it I Can Only Imagine 2: How More Big Hits Like Even If Came About, or The Aftermath Of I Can Only Imagine, & The Origins Of Even If, or some title like that? Maybe it’s just me, but maybe just calling this film I Can Only Imagine 2 might not have been the best idea in this case. But hey, what do I know? Anyway, this sequel did really well with showing the emotions of the characters, the struggles that people like Bart, Sam, and Tim Timmons especially went through that’s depicted in this movie, and more. When it comes to scenes where characters like Bart, or even Sam feel frustrated, and/or are struggling, and struggling hard, this movie was not even remotely shy to show that even in the slightest? One other thing to mention, as well as truly appreciate about I Can Only Imagine 2 is that this sequel was not afraid to show that even people of faith will go through struggles, sometimes even question why God allows certain trials in our lives, even the lives of believers, and how we need to learn to trust God even when circumstances in our lives prove to be difficult, and more. Though Christians do realize like these, I Can Only Imagine 2 does well with serving as a reminder of this.

And that’s my review for I Can Only Imagine 2. Honestly, as great as this movie is, it is mind-boggling to see this sequel perform less than its predecessor did in theaters eight years ago. Does this mean that there won’t be an I Can Only Imagine 3 in the future? It would be tragic if that was the case. Well, maybe the filmmakers were planning to only make two movies in this series anyway? You got me! Anyway, I Can Only Imagine 2 is a great film due to having great characters, excellent cinematography, and has some great messages to go along with this film. It’s just a shame that this will likely be the last I Can Only Imagine film due to it not performing as well as the first film did. Regardless, if this movie is still playing in theaters near you, I would say definitely make a point to see it ASAP. For how great of a movie as it is, as well with the scope of the film, those are definitely noteworthy reasons to see this film on the big screen rather than waiting until it comes to On Demand. If you can see it in theaters, and do, you’ll probably understand why I say that. Anyway, go see I Can Only Imagine 2 in theaters if you can. It is most definitely worth seeing. So yeah, again, see it, and see what you think!

Final Rating: 10/10

Ladies, and gentlemen, in preparation for certain a sequel that just got released recently, we review a faith-based film that was centered around pole the most popular Christian songs in recorded music history. Presenting to you all my review of 2018’s I Can Only Imagine, which stars J. Michael Finley as the main star of MercyMe, Bart Millard!

Plot: The movie takes us on the journey of Bart Millard (Brody Rose as young Bart, and J. Michael Finley as adult Bart), from his abusive childhood, his meeting with his future wife, Shannon (Taegan Burns as young Shannon, Madeline Carroll as adult Shannon), and more that ultimately led him to writing one of the most popular Christian songs that got on many #1 charts, his, and his band’s hit song, I Can Only Imagine.

Now, of course, I saw this film back when it was first released back in 2018. And yes, I reviewed it just on Facebook too. Still, watching it again, it hit home a little different for me. While I may still say some of the same things that I did back then, I may still yet add some things as well. First of all, it was both interesting, and tragic, to hear that Bart Millard grew up with an abusive father, and had a very rough childhood because of that. Now look, let me clarify, I’m not normally a person that enjoys watching movies in which main characters have an abusive parent, spouse, you name it. And yeah, I’m sure quite a few people feel the same way. However, because of this film in particular being a faith-based, and because of the redemptive events that came out of Bart’s childhood, that definitely makes this film worth your time. Plus, since songs like “I Can Only Imagine” apparently hit many #1 music charts when it first became publicized, how could one not want to hear the origins of how that particular song came about, you know? The movie also does well with showing the genuine, and, I will add, complex side of Bart’s relationships, most notably those that he has (or had) with people like his father Arthur, and his girlfriend/future wife, Shannon. Additionally, this movie was really great at showing that you can forgive someone, and yet not trust those particular people that hurt you. If none of that seems convincing enough to see this film, then get especially this. I Can Only Imagine the movie does well at showing, in a variety of ways, how God allows certain events, and circumstances, to happen for a purpose. Now yes, the Bible itself does well with portraying that message too. However, films like this one especially can serve as a reminder of that. And yes, the cast was really great too, from J. Michael Finley, Dennis Quaid, Madeline Carroll, Trace Adkins, you name it. Finally, if you want a film that not only deals with themes of forgiveness, redemption, and really good qualities like those, but also one in which both Christians, and likely even non-Christians can somehow connect with too, then all the more reason to see I Can Only Imagine.

And that’s my review for I Can Only Imagine. Yes, nearly a decade later, this movie does well with holding up. Sure, Christians will have more of an appreciation for this film than non-Christians. Still, hopefully non-Christians, if they even give this film a chance, will have a desire to know Jesus after hearing a story like Bart Millard’s through the eyes of this movie in particular. Not only will it be cool to hear the origins of the song itself, but it will be great to see a wonderful setup, with genuine characters, great music, and more. I would say that if you still have yet to see I Can Only Imagine, then please, make it a point to. In the end, I’m sure you’ll be glad you did. But again, go see this film, and see what you think!

Final Rating: 10/10

Everyone, today, we review the latest animated film from Columbia Pictures, and Sony Pictures Animation. It is the one, and only Goat, which stars Caleb McLaughlin, Gabrielle Union, and other stars. So here we go!

Plot: In a world of anthropomorphic animals, a young American Pygmy goat named Will Harris (Luke Cimity as young Will, and Caleb McLaughlin as teenage Will) dreams of becoming a basketball player like his idol, an all-star player, and a black panther, named Jett Fillmore. Will gets his chance when a female warthog named Flo (Jenifer Lewis) comes into a diner that he works at, and he agrees to let her sign him onto a professional basketball team called the Thorns, a team that consists of Jett Fillmore, an ostrich named Olivia Burke (Nicola Coughlan), an Indian rhinoceros named Archie Everhardt (David Harbour), a Komodo Dragon named Modo Olachenko (Nick Kroll), and a giraffe named Lenny Williamson (Stephen Curry), with a proboscis monkey named Dennis Cooper (Patton Oswalt) as the team’s coach. Now, with hard work, and determination, Will Will, and the team be able to beat any, and/or every basketball team that they match in, including a team that consists of a strong horse named Mane (Aaron Pierre), who is MVP in basketball, who is Will’s rival, and has a team of bigger, and likely stronger animal players?

So, with a newer animated film that has the comic book animation style that both Spiderverse movies had, did this film prove that the company that this animated film was made by can make more good films with this animation style than just any Spiderverse movie that had either come out in the past, or may come out in the future? Well, I’m delighted to tell you all that yes, Goat did in fact prove that. I mean on the surface, this film may appear to look like another typical underdog story. However, Goat ends up being more than that in this case. First of all, Goat has a really creative premise with animals, a cool looking world overall, and more.

What’s more is that the animation is really cool. Again, like with the Spiderverse movies, the animation has a comic book style type, and the animation is really great. From the way that the characters move, to any action scenes that involves the characters playing basketball on the court, you name it, Goat does well with expressing emotion even through animation.

Next, there are the characters. With the amount of characters that there are in this film, I was a little nervous as to whether or not they would do well with developing them well, especially the supporting ones. To one’s surprise, though it’s really characters like Will, and Jett, that seem to get the most development, the other characters successfully also stand out as well. Seeing as the others can come off as stereotypes from any trailers of this movie that were shown prior to this film’s release, it just shows as to why people should be careful about judging a movie by it’s trailer, especially wrongfully so. From characters like the comedic Komodo Dragon, Modo, to the anxious ostrich Olivia, and to even the black panther Jett, who can come off as aggressive, but deep down as a softer side to her character, each of these characters have unique personality traits, and, as a result, end up standing out to one degree, or another. What’s even more is how Will ends up having such a great support system surrounding him, be it ones like his late mom, Louise Harris (who is played by Jennifer Hudson), his coworkers at his diner, you name it. Honestly, it’s for reasons such as these that helps make this film all the more enjoyable.

In addition to all of this, the world building is also really great, from having an icy basketball court, another court that has lava underneath the ground, and other really creative basketball courts to go along with this film. In some ways, some of the animation might make scenes like these look like those coming out of a video game, but with better graphics. Could that be partly because of the animation style that this movie has? Yeah, more than likely.

Now, there’s the storyline. Yes, as mentioned earlier, Goat, especially from trailers that marketed this film, may come off as your typical underdog movie. However, in the end, this movie ends up being much more unique in that regard. On top of great animation, and really likable characters, Goat also does well with crafting a film with really fun storytelling. Yes, this film is technically a kid’s/family, due to there being talking animals, this movie being animated, you name it. However, though that may be the case, this film, in some ways, also can feel like its target audience might as well be geared more for teens, and adults as well. Truth be told, had it not been for the premise having talking animals, rather than humans, this film probably could have been a live-action film, and had a more full-on adult feel period. There are also times when the movie seems to take some rather interesting turns that could come off as either twists, or possibly even predictable, maybe a little bit of both. Oh, and did I forget to mention that the script is really great, full of lines that are heartwarming, hilarious, and have other kinds of great lines that help make this film all the more fun to see? What’s even more is that this film hardly drags much, if at all. Finally, it was also great to have great messages about not giving up, persevering to the end, being selfless, instead of selfish, and even an underlying message about not being afraid to face your giants in life, and other messages like those. Honestly, Goat could potentially serve as a great allegorical film especially for messages such as those that are incorporated into this film.

And that’s my review for the new animated film, Goat. With all that I said does this film have a chance of being nominated, and/or winning an Oscar for Best Animated Feature? Well, that’s too early, since, along with sequels like Super Mario Galaxy, and Toy Story 5, we also have original animated films like Disney/Pixar’s Hoppers, and Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Hexed being released later this year, and the former just coming out today, and already having mostly really great reviews. However, all I can say is that here’s hoping that Goat can at least be nominated for the Best Animated Feature Award at either the Golden Globes, Oscars, you name it. Goat is a unique animated film that any demographics are bound to enjoy for one reason, or another. Though it can come off as stereotypical from trailers shown, people will more than likely come out enjoying Goat more than they expected in the end. For reasons such as these, definitely make a point to see Goat. Not only will you be glad to see this in theaters, particularly due to the fact that this movie definitely was made for the movie theater experience, but you’ll probably have a satisfying feeling after you walk out of the theater once the movie’s over. So, go see this movie, as it’s definitely big screen worthy.

Final Rating: 10/10

Everyone, it is now time to review what some might think to be a documentary, but apparently was a regular film that that was just released in theaters last month. Presenting to you all my review for the one, and only, Melania.

Plot: The movie centers around President Donald Trump, and more so the First Lady, Melania, and the events that occurred before they were elected back in the White House in late 2024/early 2025.

Well, I must say that this was one of the most interesting films to come out. First of all, in some ways, this film can feel like a documentary, since all the characters in this film are real people. However, seeing as, according to Melania, it actually isn’t, that makes this movie even more interesting. First of all, to witness certain events that took place with President Donald Trump, and the First Lady, Melania, before they came back into office, that helped make this film really interesting. I’m not sure how often you hear of stories similar to theirs when it came to prior Presidents, like George W. Bush, and his wife, Biden, and his wife, you name it, before they all stepped into the Oval Office. Also, maybe I’m wrong, but it may seem surprising how Melania, and likely even President Trump, wanted, and still want, to make certain changes to how things are run in the political realm. What’s even more is that this film seems to show how stressful the life of a politician can be, especially when it comes to a President, and First Lady have so much responsibility with running the country. I mean many of us may think that being a President, or a King, you name it, ends up being a one of the most glamorous lives that a person can have. Because of that, it was great to see films like this one show how that’s not always the case. Yeah, you really talk about how, as Ben Parker in 2002’s Spider-Man 1, that “with great power comes great responsibility”. What’s even more is that this film does well wit really having us see the side of President Donald Trump, and Melania, that, without a film like this one, we may not have gotten to know about as much as we did. Additionally, it was really cool that this film walked the audience through of events that happen shortly before a President enters into the Oval Office, certain events, and activities that take place afterwards, you name it. Finally, it was also great to see this movie about Melania especially do well with actually acting like an actual movie rather than a documentary.

And that’s my review of Melania. If you haven’t seen this film, then I highly recommend it. Truthfully, it may yet help open your eyes as to why we should be glad that President Trump, and First Lady, Melania, are currently the ones helping run this country. The movie gives us a better idea of what it likes to try to run for President, what life seems to be like for a President, and the First Lady, and things like that. And, yes, it was great to see activities, and events that occur before, and during an election. And, most importantly, it was great to hear more of Melania’s, and Trump’s for before, and after the election, and getting sworn into office. I would say that if you haven’t seen Melania yet, see it either in theaters if it’s playing near you, or on streaming. It is guaranteed that you’ll enjoy it in the end.

Final Rating: 10/10

Everyone, today, we review a newer action film that stars Chris Pratt, and Rebecca Ferguson. Presenting to you all my review of the one, and only Mercy.

Plot: In futuristic Los Angeles, California, the Mercy Capital Court uses artificial intelligence judges to put defendants on trial for violent crimes. In one particular case, Los Angeles Police Department Detective Chris Raven (Chris Pratt) is put on trial for the supposed murder of his late wife, Nicole. Now, with an hour, and a half of being on trial, can Chris prove to artificial intelligence Judge Maddox (Rebecca Ferguson) that he didn’t commit the murder, or will it turn out that he did in fact commit it after all?

Honestly, because of how good this film is, it’s baffling as to how it didn’t perform all that well at the box office. I mean even though this film revolves around the main character, a police detective in this case, being on trial, it surprisingly works very well. For some people, the premise of a character being on trial for a crime might sound boring, am I right? Well, for those of you that would say yes, then I understand if you might feel that way. Yet, here is another instance, like with some other films here, and there, where I would say “Don’t judge a movie by its trailer, or premise!”.

Why, you may ask? Well, for one, some of the visuals, and 3D effects. I’m not sure if it’s because of the A.I. judges, like Ferguson’s judge character, Judge Maddox, looking real, in spite of likely having CGI to go along with her character, and/or maybe other reasons to go along with that. Regardless, it works beautifully. I mean the way that there are transitions between this event being shown, and that one during Chris’ trial, that makes the visuals work even more.

The setup of the whole premise surprisingly overall is genius. Maybe it’s because of this taking place in a futuristic setting? It might be due to a trial like this one not being quite like your typical trial in real life? You got me!

The acting is also really great. Chris Pratt is especially awesome in his role as the defendant. Same goes for Rebecca Ferguson in her role as the A.I. judge. Not to mention that, despite being an A.I. being in this case, she also acts as a normal human being over the course of this movie as well. The rest of the cast is great too.

In addition to all of these, there is some really great action. What’s even more is that there are really great twists to go along with the film. Considering that you might not quite find yourself predicting who certain villains are, you might find yourself rather shocked by who some of the villains end up being, how certain situations turn out, you name it.

Finally, Mercy serves as a reminder of how even innocent people in life will sometimes get wrongly accused of things that they didn’t even do in the first place. Sad, but true.

If there were any complaints about this film, it would probably be that the film might drag in a few spots here, and there. Thankfully not by much, just a little.

And that’s my review of the action film, Mercy. I’m not sure if this film hasn’t performed Ed as well due to maybe some people might be boycotting actors like Chris Pratt, due to certain beliefs that he withholds? Or was this film not as well marketed as it should have been? You got me on all of this! Regardless, Mercy is a film worth your time. That is especially if you want an action film with a court trial, and an interesting premise to go along with it. And not to mention other mostly great elements like excellent action, excellent twists, and turns, you name it. Honestly, it’s a shame that this film is probably going to disappear into obscurity, and become an underrated action film. That is why I would say to see it whenever you can. You may yet be surprised by how enjoyable it is in the end. So, again, go see it, and see what you think!

Final Rating: 9.5/10

Well, everyone, today, we revisit, and give a second review to a lesser known Disney/Pixar film that happened to be one of my very first film reviews a little over a decade ago, when I first started movie reviewing, and just did it just on Facebook. And now, I shall review this a second time around for my blog viewers to see as well. So now, let’s now review a Disney/Pixar film that was released back in 2015, just a few months after the company also released the first Inside Out film. It is the one, and only The Good Dinosaur.

Plot: In an alternate timeline, when the meteor goes past Earth, and doesn’t destroy the dinosaur population, dinosaurs begin to do activities like farming, cattle ranching, and more. Arlo (Raymond Ochoa), the Apatosaurus, and his family are a herd of farmers. One day, when he chases a human boy that’s been taking food from his family’s silo, they both get swept up into a river that causes both of them to be far from home. Now, can Arlo, and the human, whom he names Spot, put aside their differences, and work together to find their way back home?

So, now that The Good Dinosaur has reached its 10-year anniversary as of November of this past year, does it still hold up even after being around for that long? Well, in many ways, yes, and, in others, there were elements that probably didn’t seem to work as well as the filmmakers might have hoped.

First of all, though the film does give the audience to breathe in many spots that probably worked to a little bit of a fault. Okay, let me explain! We do have a good amount of character development. However, there are some scene that might have overstayed their welcome a little much.

What’s even more is that there are some moments that might be a little too intense for a family film.

One other thing to mention is that there can be moments where this Disney/Pixar film might feel like it might be for a little more of a younger audience than for teens, and adults. Oh, don’t get me wrong, it is still for even those age groups too. It’s just that The Good Dinosaur seemed to sometimes feel like it was more for kids, and didn’t seem to hit those more mature, and emotional beats that many of Disney/Pixar’s before this film, and after, seemed to.

Nevertheless, there are many elements that make The Good Dinosaur still really enjoyable. First of all, there’s the score my Mychael, and Jeff Danna. I’m not sure why these film composers seemed to incorporate some Irish music into this score. Well, for whatever reason, it still seems to work really well. That is especially since this is a film that involves farming. What’s more is that the Irish music, and all the other instruments that are incorporated in this score, work just beautifully.

Next, there is the animation. First off, the designs of the characters are really great, especially for a Disney/Pixar film. What’s even more is that the backgrounds, and cinematography is overall phenomenal. Some of the backgrounds, like the mountains, and rivers, almost look very realistic, and look like live-action backgrounds. It just came, and still comes, to show how well the animation industry has become even more revolutionary particularly in the world of Disney/Pixar, and maybe even other animation companies both around the time that this film came out, and after.

Next, there is the storyline. Again, it might not be quite as strong as some of Disney/Pixar’s other entries. However, there is still emotion, heart, and a great amount of creativity put into this film. I mean to have dinosaurs like the Apatosaurus kind be farmers, T-Rexes be cattle ranchers, you name it, how could you not appreciate having a film with a unique spin on a story that revolves around dinosaurs?

Arlo’s relationships with his family, and with Spot, the human, is done really well. Yes, his relationships with maybe some of his family members, like his siblings, could have been fleshed out a little more. Still, his relationships with characters like with Spot, and his parents, are done, and handled well. There are some very heartfelt, and emotional moments that go along with moments with some of them as well. Finally, since T-Rexes aren’t the villains this time around, it may come as a bit of a surprise as to who, or what is the villain this time around.

Finally, the overall message about learning to conquer fears in one’s life are handled really well. I remember a friend of mine pinning out that because of the way the whole message of fear, and conquering it being handled in a rather creative way, The Good Dinosaur could maybe be used as a Sunday school lesson, or maybe could be used in Christian community groups. Can one go so far as to say that? Well, though I’m not sure that I would go quite that far as to say that, that whole lesson that is portrayed in this film is definitely one that serves as a reminder as to why learning to overcome fears of any kind is really important. Truly, it helps make The Good Dinosaur a really good fable as a result.

And that’s my review for The Good Dinosaur. Yeah, either because The Good Dinosaur had some production problems along the way, or some other reasons, the film doesn’t quite live up to its potential. Nevertheless, it works in more ways than not. There’s creativity, emotion, heart, great animation, fun characters, and many other elements that help make The Good Dinosaur worthwhile. It may not be quite as much of a classic like many other Disney/Pixar’s other entries like Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, Inside Out, you name it. Still, it is worth seeing, and teens, and adults, will still enjoy it, despite the possibility that kids might like it a little more so in this case. If you’re one of those people who hasn’t seen The Good Dinosaur in any of the ten years of this film’s existence, definitely see it on Disney+, check it out from the library, or whatever works for you. After seeing it, you’d be surprised by how fun, and engaging this movie still is. Again, see it, and see what you think!

Final Rating: 8.5/10

Everyone, today, we review a suspense film that I originally didn’t plan on seeing. However, because a friend of mine wanted to see it rather badly, I agreed to see this one at least for this time around. With that said, let’s talk about this thriller film, Send Help, and stars Rachel McAdams, and Dylan O’Brien.

Plot: When a plane crashes in the ocean on the way to Bangkok, Linda Liddle (Rachel McAdams), and her boss, Bradley Preston (Dylan O’Brien) find themselves being the only survivors, and stranded on the Gulf of Thailand. Now, can they learn survival skills until someone comes, and rescues them?

Well, I will give this film this. Send Help was very suspenseful. It did a good job of portraying how life can be more rough, and difficult when you love on an island, and away from life that many people may know, especially those who end up having good jobs, living in good homes, you name it. Leads Rachel McAdams, and Dylan O’Brien, were also really good leads. The rest of the acting was also really great too. Finally, as far as positives go, there was really great cinematography. And it wasn’t even CGI backgrounds. How about that?

In spite of these positive aspects, however, I’m sure that some, if not a lot, of people that see this film will find themselves thinking that as far as films of this type go, they would probably rather hang out on an island in the Pacific Ocean with someone like Tom Hanks’ character, Chuck Noland in Cast Away, than on the Gulf of Thailand with survivors Linda, and Bradley. I mean putting aside the fact that this film is probably more violent than it should be at times, there is not a whole lot to really like about this movie beside the positive aspects that I mentioned moments ago. First of all, some people do hope that Send Help ends up going in this more positive direction, and that things turn out for the better. I mean even though the actors that portray those respective characters did well in those roles, the characters themselves aren’t all that likable. I mean with the way they each handle their actions, their motives, and things like that, let’s just say that they could have each been better characters. Truly, Send Help had so much potential to make these characters in particular have character growth, learn valuable lessons, and more. Yet, in the end, what we get is characters who, in the end, end up being psychotic, cruel, rude, and downright hateful. Because of this, there was a storyline that also had potential, but, in the end, felt squandered in more ways than not. Finally, there were some lessons that could have been incorporated in this movie, and learned from, but, again, also wasted potential.

And that’s my review for Send Help. It is good in terms of it showing what life can be like when being stranded on an island. It is also really suspenseful at points, and has great acting, both the lead(s), and supporting cast. Aside from elements like those, people can find themselves probably watching either a better thriller suspense film, or just other films period with a storyline similar to this one. I would say that before you spend money on this movie, unless you’re an AMC Stubs Member, and thus can see up to 3, or 4, movies a week, probably just go watch a film like Cast Away, which had a storyline similar to this one, but executed better, or films with Rachel McAdams that are more fun, and lighthearted, and in which McAdams played more likable roles, be it in films like Mean Girls, The Family Stone, Wedding Crashers, you name it. Honestly, after seeing Send Help, I think I’m going to try, and make time to rewatch, and review Cast Away either sometime this year, or next, especially since it just reached it’s 25th anniversary this past December anyway. Anyway, unless you really enjoy suspense thrillers, or even films with some horror elements, probably give Send Help a skip.

Final Rating: 6/10

Well, everyone, today, we finally review the last of the films that I still had yet to review from 2025 before we go full on into 2026. That is, other than me pulling up reviews of films from other years here and there. Anyway, this time around, we talk about a film that happened to be one of the couple of the biggest hits at the box office, alongside Disney’s Zootopia 2, and very few others from this past year. It is the third installment of a franchise that has continued for almost a couple decades, thanks to its popularity. Ladies, and gentlemen, I give you all my review of the third installment in the franchise, the one, and only Avatar: Fire & Ash.

Plot: During another war Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), his queen, Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), and the rest of their tribe have with Colonel Quaritch (Stephen Lang), and his army that continues to be hellbent on destroying all the Na’vi tribes, he, and his tribe discover a volcanic tribe, known as the Mangkwan tribe, who rejects the Avatar spirit Eywa. During an expedition in which Jake, and his tribe find themselves having to escort Spider (Jack Champion) from their tribe for reasons that would involve keeping him safe, they are Jake, and the gang are attacked by the Mangkwan, led by their matriarch, Varang (Oona Chaplin). Now, as Varang, and Colonel Quaritch surprisingly team up to try, and destroy Jake, Neytiri, and the rest of the Na’vi, along with any other Avatar tribes, can Jake, with any help possible, defeat Varang, and Quaritch, and save their tribe from destruction once, and to all?

So, did Avatar: Fire & Ash somehow end up being superior to Avatar, or Avatar: The Way Of The Water, or did this film fall short of those? Well, I will say this. First of all, Avatar: Fire & Ash did have quite a few highs. First of all, you have to give the movie credit for having really great visuals, just like the first two. Director James Cameron mentioned that if he, and his filmmaking team go through with making the fourth, and fifth films (which he plans to release in 2029, and 2031, respectively), he will likely cut back on budgeting, and not make those sequels as expensive to make. If that happens, will that keep the visuals in the 4th, and 5th films as grand as these three films thus far? More than likely, but I guess we shall see. Well, for now, at least we can be grateful for the fact that the visuals have been great in all three of them thus far. In addition to all of this, it is great to see that for this film being a little over three hours, like the second one, at least, while the first film is at least 2 1/2 hours, the filmmakers do not waste much time, if at all, in making this one as good as possible. Even when it comes to the story, yes, it may be a lot of the same story as the first two films. However, the filmmakers raise the stakes this time not only for the visuals, but also for areas like character development, and even for the story itself.

To begin, when it comes to character development, not only do they do well with developing characters like Jake, Neytiri, and Quaritch, for example, but also with characters like Jake, and Neytiri’s kids, the human character, Spider, and even with the new villain, Varang. Honestly, while the character development was certainly good in the first two movies, they probably did a better job with that aspect in this third film, especially when it came to developing relationships in this movie. Whether it’s Jake, and Neytiri’s relationship, Spider, and Kiri’s, or even Quaritch, and Varang’s once they team up, character development, and the relationships that go along with that, is one of the film’s strongest aspects. Honestly, because we have an Avatar tribe that consists of a group of villains, as well as them just battling the Na’vi, and then teaming up with Quaritch in the process, it likely makes the film a little more interesting than the first two, wouldn’t you say? Honestly, when it comes to especially the villains of this movie, I was a little surprised by the direction that this film took that whole deal. But hey, at least it helps make this film less cliche from the first two films. There are also some additional new characters that are great, like some of the sea creatures that communicate through sound, and require translation, you name it. Finally, there is a really interesting ending that occurs this time around.

In addition to this, because of us getting new characters, and there being more things going on, Avatar: Fire & Ash doesn’t seem to feel like much of a retread of the first movie at least like the second film seemed to be at least to a degree. What’s more is that Cameron does well with expanding the world building in this third film. Interestingly enough, this third film does well with incorporating new elements that were not present in the first two movies. After seeing this movie, people will probably be surprised to find the sorts of surprises that are found in this film? Does this mean that people will like Avatar: Fire & Ash as much as Avatar, or Avatar: The Way Of Water? Well, maybe not in every way, but probably at least in some ways, yes.

However, like quite a few films, Avatar: Fire & Ash is not without a some flaws here and there. First of all, there were some action scenes that might have dragged on a little too long, most notably one scene that occurs between the beginning, and middle of the film, when we’re first introduced to Varang, and the rest of the ash tribe. What’s more is that there were maybe a couple additional scenes that might have dragged on a little too long at times. Because of all of that, this third film probably didn’t need to be as long as it was. But hey, at least it gave the movie reason to keep going for a little while longer. In addition to this, when the climax occurs, I won’t give away what happens for those of you that haven’t seen this movie yet, but still plan to. I will at least say this, the climax, let’s just say felt a little like a cop out around the very end. I’m sure that might not have been Cameron’s intention. Still, the way that the climax wrapped up could have probably been handled better. One other thing to mention is that the way that character growth was handled, and how some characters were even dealt with, it was a little strange too.

And that’s my review for Avatar: Fire & Ash. Though there were some aspects of this film that could have made it better, Avatar: Fire & Ash still remains one of the stringer sequels out there. There’s really excellent world building, cool visuals, a lot of great character development that make this film eye catching. It most certainly was a great way to spend at least the Christmas holidays, or at least seeing it shortly afterwards. If you want a sequel that not only is eye opening visually, but also improves with areas like character development, and growth, then all the more reason to see Avatar: Fire & Ash. The characters are likable, and people are bound to love any newer elements that get incorporated this time around. Definitely go see Avatar: Fire & Ash, if you can. You may yet be surprised this time around.

Final Rating: 8.5/10

Hey, everyone, first of all, hope you’re all doing well. Second, welcome to another session of movie reviewing! Now, a lot of you are familiar with some of James Cameron’s works, like Titanic, and the Avatar movies, yes? And some of you are familiar with movie directors like Gore Verbinski, who directed films like the Pirates Of The Caribbean trilogy, and the 2011 Paramount Pictures film, Rango, for example, are you not? Why am I bringing up both directors in today’s review, you may ask? Well, Cameron, because he released Titanic back on Friday, December 19th, 1997. And, as I’m sure many of us know, Titanic went on to become a really popular film, evidently making more money than many movies seemed to have made in theaters even back then. Not to mention that the movie got re-released in theaters for its 25th anniversary just a few years ago. Oh, and side note, I did see Titanic when it was re-released back in, I believe, February 2023, for its 25th anniversary. Another side note, for those of you that are newer to my blog, I did review Titanic shortly after that. So feel free to look for that review, if you’re interested. Anyway, on the same day that Titanic was first released, Gore Verbinski, who was fairly new to the movie making industry at the time, also came out with a comedy film that was a mostly family friendly movie. Oh, and did I forget to mention that this was one of the films to be released pre-Pirates Of The Caribbean? Well, that’s the subject of today’s review. Oh, but that’s not all. At the time that this film was released, DreamWorks was a fairly newer company that was founded by Jeffrey Katzenberg (who used to be one of the main leads at Disney, but unfortunately left on rather bitter terms with the company), David Geffen, and Steven Spielberg. What’s more is that this live-action DreamWorks movie was released just a year before the company gave the general public their very first two, of many, animated films, Antz, and The Prince Of Egypt (which were released in October 1998, and December 1998, respectively). Ladies, and gentlemen, I give you my review of what may be a fairly underrated family comedy film, and stars Nathan Lane, and Lee Evans. Ooh, and it’s probably worth noting that Christopher Walken is also in this film in a more minor role. Not to mention, that this movie was William Hickey’s last role, as he passed away just a few months before the film’s release. Anyway, I now give you all my review of Mouse Hunt. Let’s begin now!

Plot: After the passing away of their father, Rudolph Smuntz (William Hickey), brothers Ernie, and Lars Smuntz (Nathan Lane, and Lee Evans, respectively) are left with their father’s string factory, Smuntz String Co., and a large mansion. But after they occupy the house, they discover that the place is occupied by a tiny mouse. Now, before they get the house renovated, and auctioned, can the brothers get rid of the mouse, despite a series of mishaps that make the job not an easy task?

From at least the plot synopsis, this probably sounds like a simple children’s/family story, yes? Well, as it turns out, Mouse Hunt is maybe a little more complex in this case. On the surface, though it may be for kids in more ways than not, there is plenty for adults to recommend as well. Actually, as it turns out, basically all ages will be able to enjoy Mouse Hunt for a variety of reasons. For the kids, that will be for any scenes that involve the mouse, and any comedic moments. For teens, and adults, especially the latter group, it will be for not only the comedy especially, but also for some of the fairly heavy subject matters that are involved in this film, whether it’s learning to deal with living in, and/or paying for expensive homes, budgeting money, you name it. While kids might not care about such adults matters all that much, hopefully they’ll ask some questions here and there to their parents after seeing this film. Plus, how can you go wrong with actors like Lee Evans, and especially Nathan Lane? If you’re especially a fan of Lane, you’ll more than likely enjoy this film even more, especially since there’s a point where he makes a certain reference to a popular line from Disney’s The Lion King (ironic, considering Lion King came out 3, or 3 1/2 years before Mouse Hunt). I mean it might drag a little bit for the first 10, 15, maybe 20 minutes. However, after that, when main characters Ernie, and Lars get to the mansion, things begin to get more hysterical. Yes, even then, there will still be some serious, and even emotional moments from time to time. Still, the comedy helps carry this film from beginning to end. And quite honestly, instead of relying on mainly comedy to keep this film going, Mouse Hunt does well with balancing out the comedy, a good storyline, well developed characters, especially with the main characters, and more. Also, how could you not love even the mouse, who’s probably one of the more smarter mice to appear in specifically a live-action film? I mean with as much drama, and trouble as the mouse gives Ernie, and Lars, it makes this film all the more fun to watch. There are also really good supporting characters to go along for the ride, whether it’s Lars’ wife, April, a judge, a character named Alexander Falko, and an exterminator in this film named Caesar. One other thing to mention regarding the characters is that even though Ernie, and Lars may be polar opposites in terms of how they go about getting certain tasks done, they still seem to have good hearts. Even so, when I was a kid, I believed Ernie to be a villain (or starting out that way), and Lars being the hero. However, it would seem that it’s more that Ernie has maturing to do in his way of thinking, and Lars needs to help him along the way.

The score by Alan Sylvestri was also really fun, especially with all the instruments involved.

Additionally, there’s a little bit of fantasy involved in this film, particularly of a painting of Ernie, and Lars’ dad, Rudolph. Basically, there are points where Rudolph, in the painting, gives all kinds of expressions throughout the film, whether it’s feelings of happiness, a frown, or even of disgust at one point for reasons that I won’t go into.

In addition to all of this, other than there being a tiny bit of foul language, the script is also really brilliant. What’s more is that there is plenty of creativity, and heart, put into Mouse Hunt. Though Verbinski may have had slightly better films that followed like Pirates Of The Caribbean, he still knew how to get some creative flare even in Mouse Hunt as well. What’s even more is that this film is a good representation of what life is like from time to time, and the hardships that can sometimes go along with it.

What’s more is that there are really, really great lessons to take away from Mouse Hunt, whether it’s about learning to take care others, standing up for others, and yourself, and learning to be grateful for things that one does have in life.

Finally, there’s the ending for this film. I won’t give away how this film ends. However, I will at least say that you’d be surprised by how this film ends. It’s creative, and is a good surprise, and a good addition to an already good film.

But does this film have issues? A couple, yes. First of all, there are some times when the movie can feel a little crude at times. Thankfully that’s kept more to a minimum (which is more than one can say about later DreamWorks movies like Shrek, or, to a lesser degree, Antz, or The Road To El Dorado), but still. The other issue that Mouse Hunt has is that there are one, or two, points where film could be a little risqué for a family film. Yes, kids can still enjoy the film. It’s just that some kids, and for sure adults could be turned off especially by the latter flaw for this film.

And that’s my review for Mouse Hunt. Do I think Mouse Hunt is better, and/or should have made more money than Titanic? Other than Mouse Hunt being the more funny film, no, definitely not. Still, it was great to have this film released around Christmas time back in 1997. The characters are great. I mean come on, again with the actors, they were great. Also, the main characters, and even the supporting ones, are likable to one degree, or another. The storyline is also simple, but also fun, complex, and creative. Everything else like the score, and especially the comedy, which is one of the major selling points of this movie, make this movie all the more fun. These, along with any valuable lessons that can be taken away from this film, make Mouse Hunt truly worth your time. If you haven’t seen Mouse Hunt yet, definitely make it a point to. If you want a movie with mostly well-known actors, great comedy, a creative story, and valuable lessons to take away, then all the more reason to see Mouse Hunt. So if you still have yet to, please give this film a chance, and see what you think!

Final Rating: 9/10
