Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Kate
Once again no trailer yet. Got into the World premiere screening, which was neat. Robert Connolly's latest is a sweet little kids film that follows the Karate Kid trajectory, only with karate swapped for making paper planes. And Mr. Miyagi replaced with a little Japanese girl.
There were plenty of the target audience in attendance, as the back of my seat will testify, but despite my discomfort, they all really seemed to enjoy it. Any problems I have with the ham-fisted writing, vague thematic work and missed opportunities don't matter to them. It's that kind of broad strokes movie, and it's funny enough that adults might get a chuckle or two as well. Even the conflict is very pleasant to watch.
