The Peanuts Movie (Film Review)
Despite being sweet and occasionally funny, The Peanuts Movie relies too heavily on unnecessary nostalgia and slapstick to support its affectionately straightforward plot. The film can be summarized as 30 minutes of main plot (enough for a TV special) and 60 minutes of filler (enough to qualify for the usual theatrical release). The film’s plot is deceptively simplistic: Charlie Brown wishes to appear exceptional to the little redhead girl, yet continuously “screws up” every goal set. Meanwhile, Snoopy gets into various antics (mostly involving the Red Baron) while the other Peanuts get their share of appearances, gags and slapstick.
