My review · Reviewed 03/17/2025

This film is ultimately about not losing the sweetness and innocence of how we viewed videos from our childhood. If you watch the movie from that perspective, this is a very sweet and enjoyable ride. If not, you're probably going to be in for a miserable time. I really enjoyed the film and it gave me a reminder to try to be a kid more often. Casting Mark Hamill must have been a nod to that spirit.
