My kids loved it. My wife and I liked it. Not sure why critic scores are so mixed/low. It's a fun popcorn kids movie - the plot is simple yes. The movie is fun, eye candy, with some laughs - and has plenty of comedy and nostalgia for parents as well. There are a couple Luigi moments in the Dark Lands that might be considered scary for some really little kids (under 5). But other than that - it's pretty light. Perfect family and kids movie.

Slow paced and jokes wasted on the preview of the movie. They made Mario 2nd fiddle to princess peach. It's more like the princesses movie then Mario movie but I guess I expected too much from Hollywood I should have known better... definitely wait till it comes out on a streaming service not worth the money for the purchase

i personally loved the movie. it was funny, entertaining, and goofy. my favorite part had to be the scene where bowser was singing peaches. it sounded like the spanish word "pinche" and it made me laugh. anyways, i personally would of taken bowsers offer in marriage proposal ;).. but that's just me. i'm glad they included the yoshi egg teaser, but i wish he was in the movie, so four stars for that reason. i also wish mario and luigi had italian accents because italians make me smile.
