With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for anyone who's ever talked to their pet and people who need a good giggle. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 11 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1944: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
When Bigshot Jones gives his unnamed dog to the All-For-One Club, Buckwheat quickly names the canine "Smallpox", inadvertently causing a city-wide panic.
