Barbie: Dreamtopia (Movie)

 

Why?

Taking a break from Wownow is hard. So instead, I had to go down a prime rabbit hole instead or Tubi TV, I don't really remember what the source is.

What in the world?

Barbie allows her sister, Chelsea, to go into lucid fever dreams. The reason for this is too dumb to actually type down for you to read.

Personal thoughts

I believe that this movie is awful. Sure, it has its moments but at the same time it just doesn't really work for me. There were two plots going on at the same time and I personally believe that that was overkill.

Score

This movie gets a 2 out of 10. I know Barbie is supposed to be an icon but this movie just did not exemplify anything of importance. Sadly, Otto did not carry the movie as far as I thought he would. He does bring up a lot of questions that I will not go into.

The Jumbo Movies

 

                              Jumbo                             

Why?

Gonna keep this one short and sweet. I fell down a trailer rabbit hole.

What in the world?

An elephant wants to compete in a spelling bee but uh oh he gets cursed with amnesia by an evil frog.

Personal thoughts

I literally thought I knew how to spell words but when they would spell them, I would get them wrong. That was a huge shock to me and my mom. We both did the same thing. I have to say that my favorite character in this one didn't get enough screen time. He was an evil, voodoo snail who ate deer. Never on screen because that would be traumatizing. 

Score

I would have to give this movie a 3 out of 10. Unsurprisingly, it's not fun to watch animals spell out words for over an hour. I did find it funny how they gave an elephant amnesia that was pretty cool on their part. 

Jumbo 2

Why?

It's what I like to call a movie marathon. I will not confirm or deny if it was a good marathon or not.

What in the world?

As a follow-up to the other one, Jumbo has depression and his old arch nemesis just wants to beat box.

Personal thoughts

Ok let me address the picture. There was virtually no pictures of this movie so I had to improvise. Anyway, they did my guy Bert, the frog, dirty in this one. They showed him little to no respect and he deserved better. His talent would have gotten him far. Their is really no exciting plot in this one but Jumbo feels the need to put himself into everyone's life which is just stupid if you ask me.

Score

I have to give this movie a 2 out of 10. Although it did have beatboxing, that was not enough to save this film. The voice actors had changed but all of the voice actors were the same (just Wownow things). Jumbo didn't even tell that good of jokes yet they all thought that his jokes were the best thing ever. Never encourage someone that is bad at what they do. No one needs that little self-esteem boost even if it is a formerly famous elephant.

Dia of the Dead

Why?

I saw the trailer for this movie when I was just looking at trailers one day. I knew that it was something that I just needed to watch and of course it was the behemoth Wownow.

What in the world?

A little boy, (he's 8), goes into the world of the dead so that he can dance for his mom in a singing competition. He is accompanied by his dad who just doesn't care about anything to be honest. 

Personal thoughts

Okay why doesn't anyone in this movie wear a shirt. All the skeletons wear shirts and they're dead. Anyway, Momo (the grim reaper of the moors) deserves better than what happened to him. He didn't get to lead anyone to the River Styx. Also, the dad just punches a skeleton without knowing his motivation. Yes, he was after the dad, but at the same time the dad did not know that and just straight beat him up.

Score

I would have to give this movie a 4 out of 10. The singing competition was the stupidest thing that they could have thought of but I really enjoyed all the little skeleton extras. They were wearing the best hat things I have ever seen and they all looked so comfy.

Dave of the Dead

 

Why?

Halloween was recent so of course I had to watch a Halloween movie. Yes this post is in November, I'm a bit late to this party.

What in the world?

A fast food employee has to go save the world from Count Dracula. His master plan is to use pumpkin holograms to throw every planet into a state of chaos perfect for endless Halloween.

Personal thoughts

I can't believe I watched a movie about a fast food employee. The manager of Dave was just so weird. Also Count Dracula didn't pay 8 space dollars and 95 space cents so that makes up the whole motivation of Dave. He must really be the best fast food employee because I'm sure no one would care that much if that much money went missing.

Score

I have to give this movie a 3 out of 10. Although it should have been interesting, the movie just wasn't. It did introduce a lot of new Wownow characters but that wasn't enough to save this film. The characters were boring and Dracula is one of the worst villains ever and not in a good way.

The WOWNOW Experiment

 

What?

This post is a bit different than my other reviews. Since Wownow is probably a cash grab studio, I decided to see how others who aren't desensitized would react to these movies. I decided to pick three members of society and get them to watch whatever Wownow film I picked. Let's figure out the verdict.

My Mother: Literally Almost Every Film

I love my mother and I would never want to subject her to unwanted torture. She has been on this Wownow film adventure since the very beginning and she's in it for the long haul. She hasn't become desensitized just yet but she's getting there. I can't even remember the first movie we saw that was Wownow. It has become a staple in this household when we have free time and I can't honestly tell you if that is a good or a bad thing.

My Sister: The Thanksgiving Movie

Yes, yes. I know I already used this picture but I thought it would make this more memorable. She couldn't stand the way that they did things. Sure they stand, walk, and talk a lot but that doesn't make it any worse than let's say Marvel. She couldn't make it a full movie without trying to seek help from our mom to get out of the situation. We ended up watching the whole movie anyway. I think she's still a bit broken from the experiment though. She'll be fine. 

My Best Friend: Under the Sea 2

Shout out to my best friend who will literally put up with anything. I have to say that this experiment did not have the same control factors as the other two. I stopped the movie. That's right...I stopped the movie because it did a Pup Scouts. I couldn't take the endless loop of stories that made no sense. He seemed to enjoy the movie even though it was terrible as all get out. I don't think he honestly would have made it through the whole thing though. The only good thing was the words, "Grand theft aqua".

Conclusion

Wownow is not for the faint of heart. If you're looking for something to put on to get some kid to go to bed then find Wownow. No one can stand it for long periods of time unless they have been highly conditioned to do so. I have also decided not to stop watching Wownow because I still find it amusing and mind numbing which is exactly what you need sometimes.

Hometown Holiday

 

Why?

An executive decision was made to take a small break from Wownow. As a last resort, my next choice of movie would be a classic Hallmark ripoff.

What in the world?

A lawyer tries to get some country singer to sign to his talent company. He goes to the town and then falls in love with a basic, boring girl. Of course, antics ensue.

Personal thoughts

Of course this movie had all the checks of a classic romance movie. The only good character was the child of the singer and he wasn't even in the movie that much. The acting throughout the movie was shockingly bad and I don't know why everything was so country related. Almost the whole movie was set in your run of the mill small, country town. 

Score

I would have to give this movie a 5 out of 10. The movie had it's charm to it and the child really brought the score up. I found myself guessing the plot which is a basic to have an essential run of the mill Hallmark movie. The main characters were probably the most boring people I have seen.

The Thanksgiving Movie

 

Why?

It was time to make someone else watch Wownow. To be fair, Thanksgiving is next month but might as well get a head start. This time I made my sister watch it so my mom had a teeny tiny break.

What in the world?

After a parrot steals some very important gems, a turkey must go and save Thanksgiving. He teams up with some kind of ancient bird so that he can take down an evil, pirate parrot. 

Personal thoughts

I thought this movie wasn't the worst Wownow film I have watched. The ending was super weird and abrupt but aren't they all. The turkey had the stupidest name of all time but that's besides the point. The humor in this one wasn't the best that I've seen but I'll let it slide.

Score

I have to give this movie a 2 out of 10. The scenes always seemed to be in dark lighting. Although I didn't find myself falling asleep, I did feel as though the movie was missing it's Wownow charm. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed this movie but not as much as any of the other ones that I have seen.
