But these movies just make me want to sob my eyes out at the abysmal lack of fun they exhibit even as they think they are all about imagination and adventure. I agree that in theory that sounds like it should be highly amusing - I like both these guys, and I like their comic chops.
We are all at the mercy of our Hollywood overlords (not that we haven’t been since movies were invented.)Īpparently moviegoers of all ages enjoy watching The Rock ( Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw, Fighting with My Family) and Jack Black ( The House with a Clock in Its Walls, Goosebumps) nominally sending themselves up by pretending that non-Rock-ish and non–Jack Black–ish people are inhabiting their bodies and their pop-culture personas. And don’t think we ain’t gettin’ another one in 2021 after this one makes a bazillion dollars because moms and dads are desperate to divert this kids over the long Christmas break.
And welcome to an unfortunate new Christmas movie tradition: the Jumanji movie. Possible minor spoilers, though they are hinted at in the trailers
