Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Blistering performances.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
First of all, I would like to say that this movie actually made me throw up. Either that or all of the honey i ate. Anyways, I really get angry because all of the girls look like guys and it's always really confusing. Secondly, due to the awful animations and child-like plotline, I can only assume this movie was made for children, but it teaches them bad habits, such as violence. At one point, one of the guys (whose name I don't know because I was drifting off to sleep 98% of the movie) hit a bumblebee... or bunny... or stuffed animal... or something, with a shield. After my son had finished watching this movie, he immediately went outside to brutally attack a bird in our backyard. How he caught the bird is beyond me, but this movie can do some real bad things to you and your children, so I wasn't too surprised. Finally, the animations are PURE TRASH. If you see the movie, prepare to not see anything remotely realistic. If you were to take away my eyesight, I could probably still understand as much as I saw, maybe more. I would NOT recommend this movie to anyone of any ages, as it is mind-meltingly dumb and confusing. That is all.
Educational programming has never been more fun (even if the education part often takes a second seat to the fun part). Odd Squad follows in the footsteps of public television shows like MathNet, teaching kids basic math while entertaining the pants off of them. And this movie, which is a compilation of the series, is a tour de force of the kind of silliness that makes PBS so much fun to watch in the first place. Odd Squad gets put out of business by a gang of adults calling themselves the Weird Team. But the out-of-work Odd Squadders soon discover something is amiss with this team. The current cast teams up with former cast members (who probably aged out) for a show-stopping finale that doesn't disappoint. Two complaints though: there is too much singing and not enough Obfusco. Otherwise, it's more fun than watching two hamsters play Uno with a deck of Skip-Bo cards!
