Popcorn vs Kernel

5 Popcorns = Must see!
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

The Peanuts Movie (2015)






Directed by: Steve Martino

Written by: Bryan Schulz, Craig Schulz, Cornelius Uliano, & Charles M. Schulz (comic strip)

Starring: Noah Schnapp, Bill Melendez, & Francesca Capaldi






The characters are sooooo cute!  I love Charlie Brown, Lucy, and the rest of the gang.  But this movie was not great.

Charlie Brown and the rest of his friends are in school, when a new girl shows up.  We never get the name of the new girl other than her being referred to as the little red-haired girl.  For most of the film, Charlie Brown tries to impress her in order to get her attention.

Even though the characters are super cute, we didn't get to see the little red-haired girl's face for half the movie!  She was pretty much never around or always in the audience.  I was just tired of waiting for this budding romance that took forever to happen, well kind of happen.  I think another problem was that Charlie Brown was trying to impress her with too many things too many times.  He tried dancing, talent show, book report, going to her door, flying a kite and probably some other things that I forgot.  It was just too much.

Another issue I had with the film was Snoopy and Woodstalk's own little story.  The film kept intercrossing between the two and I just wanted to focus on Charlie Brown's story.  Maybe if it was a different Snoopy story other than him writing a book it'd be better.

It's cute and all, but boring and tedious.  1 popcorn.
