I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

At first I thought a good editor might have saved this film by cutting it down--but it's not three hours long, it only seems that way. All of this is sooooo obvious and didactic. No sense of wonder. No excitement. The best we've got is Reese Witherspoon, who seems to be in a different and more whimsical movie but who really doesn't have anything to work with. We watched about 45 minutes, then skipped forward to the end, which also was slow . . . slow . . . slow . . . and uninvolving. Duvernay's "Selma" was much more interesting, but also played somewhat fast and loose with the material (making LBJ a antagonist to ML King rather than an ally). This film also seems not to be the book it was based on.

A big disappointment considering the hype that was "magically" floating around it. Oprah, Reece and Mindy were always amazing, but the younger actors, unfortunately made the scenes rather cringe worthy and they were as convincing as a cactus in a forest, to the point that even someone who doesn't have directing experience can really tell that they were not suited for the part.
Graphically it was amazing, but to be honest, not a great movie.

Such a waste of time and money. My 10 & 11 year old feel asleep and I don't remember most of it because I was bored.

I really wanted to see this film so bad when it was first announced as I loved the book it was based on, and was disappointed by that terrible tv movie they made years ago.Boy was I even more disappointed as this movie was actually in my opinion worse then older movie Disney made, and that is saying a lot.The acting was freaking cheesy, and was extremely corny as it was like they were trying way to hard to be whimsical or something. Like the most laughable line was was the " Flowers are the best gossipers of the universe line" which is just as laughable as the first films " These are glowworms they feed on laughter" line. The costumes the characters wore in the middle movie were terrible to the point of even looking laughable. They pretty much butchered the characters as they were bland, and weren't anything at all like they were in the book period. They completely got rid of several important plot points like the ixchel part which was important in the book, and the whole movie felt rushed also with some plot points not even making sense to me either.About the only thing I can say that I sorta liked about the movie as I kinda liked what they did with IT, but that's about it; speaking of which they didn't even beat IT either in movie did they? Like they just sorta left it, and to me that's a plot hole as that basically means it's still a threat to earth as they didn't mentioned it died or anything either.Honestly all in all I feel like I wasted money watching this movie, and felt like I should've listened to the reviews on this site instead of seeing it; I don't even consider this movie even good enough to get at a bargain bin because it was so bad.So In a way I kinda recommend the older movie more, but not much as even that movie wasn't that good; however it's still better than this movie by a lot honestly.
