Review of Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022) by Jazgalaxy — 21 May 2022
Rescue Rangers was... pleasant? Like a lot of Lonely Island projects, I'm not sure who this is supposed to be for. If you love Rescue Rangers? This movie isn't for you. Never heard of Rescue Rangers? This movie isn't for you. This is that weirdly common Hollywood project that is for people who have HEARD of Rescue Rangers, but have no affection for it and are ready to see it torn down. The central gag of the film is the tired, 90's gag of "what if cartoon characters were washed up and bitter?!?" If you think that idea is funny, and never gets old, then you will love this movie. But as tired as much of it was, I laughed out loud several times. Mullaney and Sanberg are both highly intelligent people who give depth to the characters that many actors wouldn't. It's highly watchable. But it's not good.
You know the thing when a movie points out what's wrong with it, as though self awareness absolves it of it's crimes? This movie does that repeatedly.
A just slightly better than bad film with weird flashes of brilliance and inspiration.
