About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a goofy, kid-friendly Disney-style caper with slapstick chaos and a big ensemble, similar in spirit to The Great Muppet Caper; not for you if you dislike dated humor or farcical plots.
Pros: goofy family-friendly laughs; likeable ensemble; wacky caper energy | Cons: dated jokes; uneven pacing; predictable story beats
