Sentiment: positive

Review: is a fast , frenetic , funny , even punny 6 -- aimed specifically at a grade-school audience . 
Sentiment: positive

Sentiment: positive

Review: if you do n't understand what on earth is going on 
Sentiment: negative


Review: memorable for a peculiar malaise that renders its tension flaccid
