It's just as generic and simple as the trailers make it out to be. Cute and funny and nothing else. Nothing wrong with writing a simple story, especially if it's for kids, but it's pretty much just your basic slice of life adventure film and its action scenes often felt unnecessarily forced and were resolved anticlimatically. Like, they weren't meant to be there in the first place, but the script didn't know what to do with itself so it just shoved a few action scenes there to keep the kids' attention. The side characters are useless and are only there to be funny. And the story is so bland that the characters don't really have much to work with. And it's a shame because there are some colorful characters in this.
I'm not a fan of the slice of life genre, but I can see fans of that genre and children really enjoying this. However, even slice of life fans might admit that this kind of movie would've been better off as a short than a feature length film.
