All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
