Reviews
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
