About

You’ll like this mix of family feeling and sci-fi silliness if you enjoy heartfelt odd-couple friendships in Hawaiian settings; Not for you if you want a tightly balanced, consistently polished Disney-style adventure, like How to Train Your Dragon or The Wild Robot.

Pros: heartwarming family theme; zany alien fun; colorful Hawaiian vibe | Cons: uneven story balance; slapstick can undercut; some characters feel goofy
