Jon Krasinski rips off again! Now it's from Pixar!
IF you do not know what I am talking about, you can do a short internet search on the following topics: "the novel The Silence and the film A Quiet Place", "Lip synch battle rips off", "SomeGoodNews rips off".
Now let me summarize the brain-storming process that led to the conception of this rip-off: One day, along with his family, Jon Krasinski was probably watching Pixar's Monsters Inc., Inside Out and Up back-to-back, and he "thought" what IF I put Ellie (from Up) back in her childhood with the emotions and imaginary friend, Bing Bong, of Riley's (from Inside Out) and gave the backstory of the monsters (from Monsters Inc.) to the imaginary friends in the movie, and then put some surface-level father story-line which is extremely predictable?
I mean, who could figure it out all these "inspirations" Jon Krasinski got from Pixar, right? Maybe, anyone who watched these Pixar films at least once?
And the X-Force scene was so cringe!
Apart from that, we have some positives: acting is fine, Ryan Reynolds is Ryan Reynolds as usual. Jon Krasinski and Steve Carell are the weakest links, they do not act... Phoebe Waller-Robot sounds like a robot with no emotions.
And one more thing: IF you find a cam-corder in a kid's wardrobe with its lens-cap off, do not watch the tape! And by the way, good luck charging a mini DV cam-corder using a firewire (IEEE 1394) cable because it is a data transfer cable only!
