The Boxtrolls: American Attempt at British Humor (Review/Trailer)
Going in to see The Boxtrolls, it is quite easy to get excited about the pedigree brought to the film by certain performers who are voicing main characters, but the film does not work, it is an American attempt at British Humor that just does not make it. The film loses its way very quickly at the beginning and never recovers from its directionless meandering. At the start of the movie screening attended by this reviewer a number of the audience were laughing or chuckling at events on screen. However, after the initial 15 minutes of the film’s open passed, the amusement dried up and younger members of the audience lost interest in whatever was happening in the stop-motion film.
LOLOL Good one matey!!
Hi Mike !
I figured Box Trolls wuz just another episode of the ‘tried and true’ formula for selling Christmas toys.
