Reviews
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
