Funny, lighthearted toy comedy

Rating: 7/10 (10 February 2017)

Everything is awesome as the popular block toys come alive in this hilarious animated comedy. Emmet Brickowoski (Chris Pratt) just wants to fit in with all of his neighbors and coworkers. He believes the best way to do that is by following the strict instructions given to him by the President of the Lego society, Lord Business (Will Ferrell). Little does Emmet know that Lord Business is actually planning to destroy the whole world using a powerful tool called CraGle, Crazy Glue. A prophecy made by an old man Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman) predicts that a master builder will find a powerful piece that can stop the destruction.
With the help of his henchman Bad Cop (Liam Neeson) who has personality disorders and sometimes is good, Lord Business captures Emmet who wakes up to find that the powerful piece is stuck to his back. Emmet manages to escape when he is saved by Wild Style (Elizabeth Banks) and brought to Vitruvius to discover his destiny. They go on a crazy adventure meeting all sorts of popular characters including Wild Style's super serious boyfriend Batman (Will Arnett), Unikitty (Alison Brie), Astronaut Benny (Charlie Day), and Metal Beard (Nick Offerman).
