Poster: C / C- / C / C

Review: (#1) Adapting a prior design may breed brand familiarity, but if the original wasn’t that interesting to begin with, the new design won’t be either. (#2) Even worse is when that adaptation is modified to include a bland array of cast images. (#3 & #4) The remaining two are clearly designed to engage the audience with cuteness and humor. They work a little, but the background is so generic that it doesn’t seem that fun.

Trailer: C / C+

Review: (#1) Pulling apart all the cheesiest possible elements and over-emphasizing the tie to the original, the first trailer is singularly unremarkable and a bit tedious. (#2) The second trailer sets up the premise better, but refuses to make much of an improvement over its predecessor, resulting in a hackenedy, boring spectacle that might still appeal to fans of the original.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
