Fun!! . . . though not well received, but I don't know what part it is, of what the word "fantasy" refers to, that some reviewers don't get, so I'm giving this movie poetic license.
Perhaps it's just me, because I'll put up with a lot for the sake of ENTERTAINMENT, but there's a good story line here, lots of characters with different orientations on the thematic content and I enjoyed the funny things that the characters say to one another. In its nascent form, the monster is, perhaps, a little too cute, but I don't care if it is. The main demerit I can see is how formulaic the structure of the action is. However, that trait does make it quite accessible to certain age and cultural cohorts, so, when taken as a counter-balance to the complex interactions between characters and situations, the prosaic trajectory of the action is a plus.
