* out of 5, Ok ok It is not fair I know, one is too much, I know I know… Don’t waste your money and your time, this movie is really terrible, but let’s try to make some points. It’s not the first movie of Disney that I see, and I expect a certain kind of quality, so although the trailer wasn’t a great thing, I just wanted to try. I enter the theater, a bit of advertising as usual and then it starts, well no it doesn t start, i just see mickey mouse and donald duck trying to build a boat in the old fashioned way, yes an old Disney cartoon, they have so much and they can do that, please note that some kids next to me were laughing. Ok. that was good.
then it started. I won’t say a word about the weak story, I mean take “The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius” then “back to the future”, “star wars”, “robots” and then the bad copy of “the incredibles”, shake it and there you go, you have the movie.
And it doesn t taste well at all.
For the records, the comment of the kid seated next to me was “mum, i have to pee”.

What a terrible movie, I was looking for a comedy, an HK comedy, and it seemed one that could be funny enough.
Well I was terrible wrong, It wasn’t funny, it wasn’ good at all. It seemed that love one story wasnt enough for the the movie, then they build a parallel one that was both bad.
Brrr. I have shivers in my backbone if I think about it.
* out of 5.
