I mean, “your kid will love it but you’ll think it sucks” seems like a fair review of a movie who’s primary audience is going to be children and the parents they got to drive them to the theater/rental store
They intentionally added a character saying “Oh shit!” purely to bump the rating up to PG, so like legally parents had to accompany their kids to see the toy commercial, so I think it’s fair enough in this case.
Hard disagree. I liken it to walking into a steak house and then complaining there is no vegetarian option. A critic isn’t suppose to inform me of a movies clearly defined genre.
If they’re publishing reviews in a periodical that targets a vegetarian audience, it makes a ton of sense for them to point out which meat-heavy restaurants actually have decent vegetarian options and which don’t.
I don’t have kids, so I don’t really care if kids will like a movie. I want to know if I will like it. Reviews like this are useful for me. As a couple random examples off the top of my head, Zootopia and The Mitchells vs. the Machines are both movies I enjoyed that I would have dismissed as kids movies if it weren’t for reviews saying that they’re movies that adults will like too.
Even if the periodical targets vegetarian audience it would not be right to use that review to appeal to a more general audience. A steak house should not be graded on its vegetarian options.
More like informing people who are gonna get dragged into the steak restaurant by their aggressively Texan uncle who’s declared war on his own arteries that this is gonna be the kind of asshole steak restaurant that rags on you over not also being carnivorous enough to make a Tyrannosaur blush
