Easily one of Pixar's weakest attempts.

Rating: 5/10 (3 May 2018)

Perhaps Pixar's most childish and least emotionally resonant attempt thus far, this animated feature is based upon a nonsensical concept that isn't even entirely consistent within its own internal logic and also borrows most of its plot elements beat-for-beat from 'Doc Hollywood (1991)'. For most of the run-time I was surprised to find myself bored by the predictable plot peppered with thin characterisations and no laughs whatsoever. The finale picks up a little and provides some passing entertainment, though. It also has the hero learn a lesson that isn't necessarily set-up as obviously as the others. The lack of any emotional impact is what really compounds the flick as one of the coveted studio's weakest attempts. 5/10
