Reviews
This was a cute but ultimately forgettable movie. I wish there had been more development into the mom and grandma characters, since most of the fans of the original book would identify more with the adults at this point. The kid actors were good and the commitment to nailing the 80’s aesthetic was impressive. But overall the movie relied too much on background nostalgia and not enough on developing the characters and their journeys.
