Perhaps weight of expectation is starting to bare down on "Big Mouth" but after two stellar seasons I felt like this was perhaps a tiny bit below the bar they've set for themselves.
Valentine's Day approaches like a juggernaut for the kids of "Big Mouth". Nick is trying to get used to have a female hormone monster, Andrew is determined that his "play it cool" approach will work with Missy, Jay is struggling to manage his two pillow-based relationships and Jessie is trying to come to terms with her mums new relationship.
I'm not sure why this special didn't hit home as well as the previous seasons episodes have. Maybe the additional runtime let the stories run a little longer than they needed to. Maybe too much of the runtime was committed to the song and dance numbers, which were a little hit and miss. Perhaps it was, as one of the other reviewers suggests, that Andrew's storyline was a little out of character for him, and the lessons that he's learned previously. Maya Rudolph's performance as Connie remains a standout performance.
It wasn't bad, by any means, I laughed a few times and overall I'd still say I enjoyed it.
