Who's the audience?

Rating: 4/10 (12 May 2017)

I liked this when it came out and I was a teen, but now that I'm older, I realize why it bombed so hard. It doesn't have a clear audience. The jokes and acting are cheesy and juvenile, and the main moral of the story is aimed to be inspirational, urging the audience to avoid bullying, help children get a chance to try and win, winning isn't everything, etc., as if it's a family movie. And yet, the movie is littered with mature jokes, crude humor, bad attitudes, and profanityâ€” things no self-respecting parent would want to let their children partake of. It's got a handful of jokes in it, but its message, no matter its importance in real life, is lost.
