Both of my son’s ages, 9 and 12, said it was the best movie ever created. I have to agree. It is definitely a good movie. The entire audience clapped in the end. Great family movie. Highly recommend it.

Since Levi is the single-use plastic of screen performers – flat, shiny, desperately unfashionable – it’s left to Jemaine Clement to provide the story’s charismatic core as Gary, the villainous failed fantasy novelist with a thing for Mel’s mum.

It is a somewhat decent movie hampered by so many preventable oversights and missteps.

“Random” aptly summarizes Harold and the Purple Crayon, with its patchy subplots, distracting amount of dialogue added after filming was wrapped, and geographic cluelessness.
