All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
The acting in this movie is really good.
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.
