Bajo la Rambla

This film was truely spectacular, I decided to watch this after it got some hate on tiktok. Many people saying it was a rip off of other movies. Personally I think the plot is very original and heartwarming. I'm very glad I watched this movie because this is one of the greatest films I've EVER watched. Amazing film for all ages. I'd say families with younger kids definitely should check this movie out. Even people older would enjoy this film. There is great character development and the ending is absolutely beautiful. Seeing the main character 'come out of his shell' sent waves of emotion through my spine. This is a must watch for all families.

This movie parodies the tv show Jersey Shore. Awful stereotypical Jersey dialog and less than quality animation make it hard to watch. The worst part is the story about land crabs (poor) vs sea crabs that travel the world and represent the upper class. Any children's movie that tries to reinforce simplistic class dynamics is a disservice. If you liked this movie, good for you. But to consider it one of the best movies of 2023 is utterly ridiculous. The voice actors are good but they were handicapped by a script with no imagination or structure. Let's hope for better for our children, for all children.

So much better than I was expecting. My kid was watching it mesmerized for the whole film. So cute! It looks so good, and moves so well. Very Premium. Well worth adding to the repeat viewing list for the whole family. Great animation, characters, unique setting. Lots to come back for.

The arm scene was perhaps shocking, but I think they get away with it.

I wish we'd seen more about this sooner. It seems to have been overlooked by Paramount. But with any luck more people will see it on Paramount plus.

Give this Director more fun stuff to make! Well done to the whole team. These days most animated films disappoint, but this one nailed it!

SUPER cute and I loved the accents. It's a very typical "othering" story and how we have more in common than we think.

Absolutely a recommend and very entertaining.

If you're looking for a movie you can turn on for the kids at a party or to watch something light hearted for the evening, this is something that you want to turn on.

The animation is up to standard. The story is good. The humor is very clever and plays into many classic stereotypes with the Jersey accent and is very clever in it's use of scale. It is also quite heart warming and tugs on those heart strings in just the right amount.

My only criticism would be that you do need a little background in accent stereotypes to really enjoy the subtext, but if you do, you'll love it!

Check it out!

Armen (Michael Cera) is a nerd hermit land crab in New Jersey. He and his meathead friends live under the boardwalk with the other townies. During summer times, the ocean crabs arrive for their vacations. Ramona (Keke Palmer) comes with her family, but her mother insists that they stay in the ocean resort section. Ramona has a wandering heart and Armen falls in love.

This is a lesser animated movie from Paramount Animation. I do like the general concept of a townie crab falling for the exotic ocean crab. I'm not completely sold on the Jersey shore stereotypes. It's mildly humorous with partial annoyance. Michael Cera is doing Woody Allen and again, I'm not completely sold on it. This is a shorter movie. It feels like it could do more. I like the rollercoaster section. It's fine for a family flick.
