About

If you like darkly whimsical family adventures with a threatening villain and striking visuals, you may enjoy this; Not for you if you want a laugh-out-loud, lightly paced story like Onward or Nanny McPhee.

Pros: Jim Carrey as villain; Darkly fun atmosphere; Visually engaging sets | Cons: Feels too brisk; Not consistently funniest; Some dialogue repeats
