Lizzo would have been fine, if she could act here. Christopher Lloyd was fine. However, Jack Black's persona is too specialized for this role. Instead of thinking "character" you think "Jack Black." A good word I saw was that it was "jarring." I agree. Jack Black may have a difficult time as a character actor. He should have won an Academy Award for School of Rock. It's like when you see Jim Carrey, you expect something immediately, the viewer is biased. A good character actor can be inserted in a role and do a great job with the role without the viewer thinking about the actor, but only the role. Lizzo and Jack Black are great, but it did not work here. I suppose I will get used to him if they keep the character....
