There wasn't enough of anything in this movie to make it worthwhile. Not enough fun, not many laughs, not enough nostalgia and certainly not any solid story arc. Everything falls flat and that's a shame given the cast and the concept.
Nothing carries any weight and everything is a dumb wink to the audience. There's not even much heart or sentiment at play. What hits the screen feels phoned in and cut together by little kids in an editing suite. They kept is PG-lite and dodged any kind of real humor like they were worrying about making this some kind of kid's franchise. Who was the target audience for this mess? A complete joyless letdown to say the least.
