Tip, noticing this, said, and I quote, 'shake your Boov thang.' You know, cause Boov rhymes with groove. So during one scene, when Oh is listening to pop music, his body starts to dance involuntarily. Like, for example, the alien species are called the Boov. I just don't think the film is really that funny. I've seen plenty of predictable movies that I've enjoyed. And that doesn't necessarily mean that a film will be good or bad, but it's far more noticeable when the film isn't good, as it was here. It just plays out pretty much exactly the same way one would expect. I suppose the film is colorful enough and the animation is more than solid, but it takes more than that to make a good movie. I'm not saying that they were intended this way, but you can sort of notice when they're really into a project and when they're not. Look at those two films and tell me that I'm wrong.

There's just not that much effort put in here, I think they just what's absolutely essential in order to make sure the kids are distracted, but they don't go all out like they did for How To Train Your Dragon 2. It's obvious that they don't consider this to be a top-quality project and that is evidence by the execution of the film. This, and other films like the Croods or Turbo, are clearly B-team offerings from DreamWorks. Not saying that this film was easy to make, because it was anything but easy, but it feels like there wasn't as much effort put into this film as, say, other DreamWorks animated films. It's clearly not meant to compete with the Toy Storys or the How to train your Dragons of the world. This is mostly meant as a diversion, more than anything else. But the fact that the film is sweet does not make up for the fact that it's probably a very generic story and even more generic execution. It doesn't feel forced or contrived, like you would see in so many of these films. I think this film succeeds at mostly building a sweet friendship between the two lead characters and it actually feels earned.

I know that's a shitty reason to give one film the nod over the other, but I also genuinely enjoyed this than either of the Despicable Me movies. Expectations were, at least, a bit more realistic when it came to this film. I have to give the nod to this film over Despicable Me if only for the fact that Despicable Me, at least the first one, was very positively received and even compared to Pixar films. But, in terms of quality, there's nothing much separating those two films from one another. The only difference is the fact that, at least, this film doesn't have insufferably annoying mascots like the Minions. Perhaps that's a little strong to say, but this film is really no better than either of the Despicable Me films. But, as the cliche goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Alex is left with only one option: in order to avoid being assigned outside the high school he loves, he must find a new mom and dad.This is a movie that certainly means well, it's sweet and it's, honestly, one of the most harmless films you could show your children, if that's what you go for, instead of showing them quality films. When Alex’s transportation funding ends, he discovers he’s about to be assigned to a foster family outside the school district that can provide stability and a curriculum that can get him into an Ivy League university. When Alex was 10-years-old, Ileana had a life-altering car crash that left her struggling with bouts of anger and depression, so much so that a family court judge deemed her unfit to parent Alex further. "Finding a Family" is based on the true story of Alex Chivescu, a ward of the state of Michigan, who knowing he cannot be emancipated from the foster care system, searches for a new mom and dad within the school district that he believes can fulfill his lifelong dream of attending an Ivy League university.Īlex (Jared Abrahamson) has a passion for learning, instilled by his loving single mother, Ileana (Kim Delaney) who has a doctorate degree and speaks six languages.
