When I first saw the trailer for this I thought it looked unbearably stupid, but it actually wasn’t so bad. Nothing about it is unfamiliar, you know how the whole thing is going to play out without even thinking, but it’s all very nice. And seeing as I watched it with my parents and we all kind of enjoyed it, I guess I can say definitively that it makes the grade as a family film. Sure, there wasn’t anyone in the room who could technically qualify as a child, but I figure I come close enough.
Nothing special, but I’d watch it a hundred times before I watched Transformers again.
Grade: ***
