About
You’ll like this if you enjoy lighthearted adventure with serious themes and a determined escape-and-run feel like Holes or Iron Will; Not for you if you want a strictly even tone or a fully complete book adaptation.
Pros: energetic adventure; strong lead performances; meaningful friendship | Cons: tonal whiplash; comedy amid slavery; parts feel muddled
