Unstuck

Rating: 3/10 (10 January 2015)

If you want either a primer into the experience of having ADHD or an endless advertisement for Lego toys, then this unmitigated piece of rubbish is for you.
From the opening onwards it is a series of visual and audio assaults on the viewer, with one demolition scene after another. It all felt the same after about fifteen minutes. Boringly the same.
Lots of reviewers have commented that it was very funny, but whatever humour was in it bypassed me. I barely smiled at anything in it. And I'm not normally the curmudgeon in the crowd.
Perhaps the nadir came when the human characters were introduced. Just in case we didn't quite get the heavy-handed messaging, we needed real humans to show us what it really looks like. And the message was simply philosophical romanticism married to pop psychology. Pleeeeaaaase can children be fed with something more helpful, if they have to be given these "moral lessons." If this movie was meant to recapture the pleasure of playing with Lego as a child, it didn't do it for me.
Three out of ten only because I've got to leave room for other even more dreadful flicks. One of which is most likely going to be Lego Movie 2 scheduled for 2018. Ugghhh...
