For me this film is a good 5 ( It could've been so much better though) for kids i will give it a higher score h hope they all have great fun watching this with their families. The white privileged comment id already seen people complain about had me put off but seeing as its starring wayans who's comedies I love.( white chicks being my favourite comedy ever!!!!) i thought meh im still gonna watch it despite i hate all PC & BLM nonsense these days. Watching Wayans try say it once with his almost flair I thought it was possible pass till I rewound and it made me cringe. Despite differing beliefs. This is definitely a little childs film and that nonsense does not belong in the film. Even if it wasn't a kids film it just adds nothing too it. Moving on the film started with a classic 🎵 song "don't you come back Jack" WOW not sung that since I was a kid in the 80s so had me off to a good start. ( In fact all tracks in the film were good) I recognised the child star right away from her voice as Erica from stranger things ( #teamErica to kill vecna BTW lol) the lady who played her mother, one i found the best likeable character and couldn't stop trying to think what I'd seen her in before ( then I read here its Kelly Roland WOWshes aging beautifully she looks younger than ever) Kelly for me gives the most relaxed and warm performance or idyllic and neutral loving mother. Loved her character i feel the daughter started off strong. But got weaker apart from a beat down with a clown. This could be to the fact her sidekick dad actor Marlons performance pulling her down with him. He really isn't on form. For a guy who's done films taking the mick out of every race gender and stereotype , playing very otp characters and doing plenty of supernatural films. He really didn't seem that much into this one. Like he only gave 30% of his true talent sadly. & I think this was a big part of the film not being as high as it could be ( there was some really funny gags given to him.in there which while still funny he could've made hilarious of be was 100% commited)But I still Love wayan brothers. I hope the girl who plays the daughter keeps up training in different areas as she does have talent and would love her to be a future big name. They leave the ending hinting at a Xmas sequel which would be Great for kids. As long as its not rushed last minute and its something that's already been prepared along with this or we wait till they get it right I think would be great for kids. I certainly want to see more of Kelly Rowland. She's a joy to watch.
