Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
For a creative premise, it's downright dispiriting to see such a banal interpretation.

rotten:
An innocuous but haphazard family comedy that seems less crafted for children than dreamed up by a team of them.

After sitting through this fractious fairy tale, we feel as plucked as a Christmas goose.

rotten:
The twitchy anxiety that once powered his persona has given way to a doughy anonymity.

rotten:
It descends into pathos, undermined by an insipid romantic subplot and the usual platitudinous guff about self-belief.
