About
Enjoys smart, silly action-movie spoof with a kid’s ticket-fueled trip between worlds; Not for you if you want a straightforward serious action thriller, or if you disliked Who Framed Roger Rabbit or Big Trouble in Little China.
Pros: clever action parody; meta cinema fun; over-the-top laughs | Cons: niche for some; corny dialogue; violence and sexuality
