The Unbreakable Boy makes it hard to be on its side. It has a likable kid actor who does everything he can to annoy the audience in the same way he annoys his dad. So good job there. It also … Continue reading
Dhoom Dhaam is an Indian Netflix action comedy romance… and it doesn’t do any of these genres particularly well. In fact, it starts with such cartoony comedy that bounced off my cynical armor that it took the film an entire … Continue reading
