Ron's Gone Wrong

Movies the giraffe watched in 2022: January (38 movies items)

"First viewing - Jan. 21st HBO Max This was cute. I liked the central friendship & there are some fun moments. It could maybe go a little harder on some of its ideas about technology/social media, but at least it acknowledges there are downsides to placing too much importance on it. And given its primary audience is clearly children, that's a necessary reminder even if it didn't explore it as much as I'd prefer. Overall the film is nothing great, but my daughter & I enjoyed it for what it is."

"I legitimately haven't been this annoyed by a film in a long time. I wished for the entire runtime that this would end up subverting the inherently super-capitalist premise it presents but at most it goes "Hey kids should play outside" while still shilling it's ass off for it's Apple-stand in. I hated this and I hated that it's a film made for kids. "
