Not Even Kids Like It

No Heart for Shaky. Actually the Dog is the best part.

I got to see this film at a special Screening at a film festival in a Suburb of Chicago. The writer and Director of the film did a small talk about the film was made. Including sights of the City we would recognize. He called Lake Shore Drive Lake Shore Street.

Ill start with acting. OMG Bad. Why do adult actors think because this is a kids movie they don't have to try very hard. Yes you do. Even kids appreciate and recognize good work. Most of the adult Characters in this film are villains. And there are way too many of them. And they all have some sort of weird hate for Shaky that never really is explained. They are also so cartoonishly Evil, its just nuts. There is a restaurant owner who wears a cap and samples diners food and reviews the food like hes performing a Shakespeare play. There is the head of the Apartment board who you can barley understand because of the way she makes expressions which makes her barley open her mouth. There is also a rand red neck dude,(In Chicago?)who is there for about 0.5% of the film and we never hear from him again.

This film was also screened in 3D. Not much of that in the film. I think only 3 Scenes had any fun 3D in them.

Let me put it this way. The Kids in the theater didn't like it. The one demographic they went for and they didn't like it. No laughing, no giggling no excitement at all.

score 2/10
