he should’ve drawn a rose toy
ram<3Jul 31, 2024It’s very easy to understand why kids might love a picture book about a curious four-year-old whose purple crayon gives him the power to create anything he can think to draw. On the other hand, it’s virtually impossible to understand why kids might enjoy a meta, live-action…

Innocent & fun enough for a toddler or young kid to enjoy.
Cris ParkerAug 31, 2024Finally! A movie where an adult man with the mind of a child from a magical land ventures into our ordinary world to find his dad and meets Zooey Deschanel, a woman who lost her sense of wonder and as a result no longer expresses herself musically but after she spends time…

Obvi I’m not the intended audience but I thought it was a fun movie. It’s odd how many adults are shitting on this, have you considered it’s not for your age group? it’s for kids! Lmao. I do think it’s odd how Zachary Levi is always playing a man child tho💀😭

Make another movie and leave a cliffhanger make Harold and Melvin’s mom get together
NRNoemi RivasBoth 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.
DTDa Savage T-Playa**Harold and the Purple Crayon: A Delightful Adventure** Harold and the Purple Crayon is an outstanding movie that offers a perfect blend of humor and creativity. It kept me engaged and laughing throughout, a stark contrast to the nearly soporific experience of watching…

It had potential to be good, but was just really weird and most of the acting was really bad. The animals turning into humans was a big mistake, but they shouldn't have even left Harold's world in the first place.
VVVanessa VacaMy kids and I loved it! good all around family movie
MYMorgan YuanTruly rare to see a disaster of a movie these days, so in that sense it was a really singular experience. Kid like it though!

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.
