This movie is great—for everyone—the kids are going to love the cute story, the funny jokes, and the action, and the adults are going to love everything else. The nostalgia was strong for me, and everything I saw made me squeal with glee…everything from the music to the Kid Icarus cameo (my personal favorite from back in the day). All the love the creators put into this movie pours out of it!
Honestly, I’ve never seen a group of adults laugh so much at a movie…and when it was done no one left. It was so good no one wanted it to be over. If that isn’t an endorsement I don’t know what is!
When speaking on Super Mario Bros., Julian added this, “This movie does well by making a fun and coherent story with heart and feels like a celebration of the franchise by tying as much of the many facets of the franchise all together in a banger of the animated film.”
