One of the worst kids movies i've ever seen


I know people think kids movies shouldn't try at all, "they're just for kids" or "it'll make kids laugh, it's fun" but WOW. this movie is horrid. I also know comedies usually feature cartoony moronic characters, but these characters are so stupid, unlikable, unrealisticly cartoonish. Comedy characters can still be stupid but they have to be realistically stupid. There's no way any of these characters could function in real life. Half of the jokes make zero sense. The only way the plot works is for the universe to bend around how one-dimensional and brainless the characters are. The writing is made 90% up with terrible exposition. Why do the same extras appear in every single scene, and why does that one extra keep looking into the camera???
