L.O.L. Surprise: The Movie

Very cute movie for kids. My grandchildren really enjoyed it. Fun watch. And pretty fun for adults too! We all watched it together and really had a fun Friday night. Would recommend this movie if your kids or grandkids want something easy and cute to watch on the weekend. It had some really sweet themes as well.

If not, dont watch this, cause it's garbage. Could be directed by a 5-yo who's mom has a fetisch for child beuty contests. The dolls are all worse than Barbie with the hip-waste-chest ratios and the editing is on par with Adam Sandlers worst movies from before he turned famous.

Everything seems to be focused around make overs and trying to look as "fabulous" as possible.

This movie is trying so hard to be the lego movie.

The story is chaotic,no logic NOTHINGGGGG.

Curse netflix curse lol curse everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The script is a heady mix of random catchphrases 'Queen, Slay, Fierce, Diva'. The plot is literally that there is no plot to the movie and it ends with a mashing together incoherently.

None of it matters unless they name drop the relevant characters they want your kids to buy.

The child I watched it with could not really remember a single thing that had happened during the movie other than a few character names. There is no message, this is an advertisement.

This should have been just a product-placing piece of fluff. It should have been cynical, insubstantial, just plain dumb. So how did it end up with this much depth, this much nuance? Who asked that it include an extended De Palma homage, a vaporwave western fashion showdown, an action-packed comic-book-styled chase scene, with the disparate aesthetics held together by a series of vaudevillean stop-motion sequences? Sure, it tells of a young girl's reckoning with change through an imaginative interaction with a world of product -- but, goddammit, kids already live in a world of product; that is precisely how they engage with and overcome trauma. Somehow this movie knows that, knows how to work with the premise, and finds an inner directorial freedom to represent that engagement in all its chaotic fluidity, utterly keen to the power of misdirection and surprise. It speaks from a rich visual language, refreshingly free of immersion-breaking winks and nods to the grown-ups in the room. Kudos to all involved.
