Review of All Stars (2013) by Jamie B — 04 May 2013
This film seems to split reviewers into those who are think they are too cool (or too old!) to enjoy it, and those who think it's great! The guy from total film complains that there is no drug taking or crime at the youth centre?! Are you kidding me? I don't want to take an 8 year old you a movie about drug taking.
This is not the Dark Knight or some gritty drama, its a fun exciting bright funny film to take your kids to, that you can enjoy with them as a parent. The script is witty, the acting is way above the norm for kid's movies and the soundtrack is hip.
Yes there is impressive dancing, backflips, crazy 3D fantasy sequences (Space invaders! Samurai Warriors!) but there is also a good story and you will come away feeling uplifted. What a nice change from all the end of the world/death/destruction/dark comic book movies that seem to clog up the multiplexes.
As a parent I think it's a shame there are not more of these films that we can enjoy as a family.
