It could’ve so easily ended up as a 100 minute
toy ad – which, if we want to be cynical, it kind of still is. Instead, high concept
masters Phil Lord and Chris Miller have pulled off one hell of a hat trick and
turned The LEGO Movie into a visually
inspired comedy that also has a beating heart underneath all those plastic
bricks. True, the irreverent humour often borders dangerously on chaotic and
adult viewers are likely to figure out the twist early on, but you sure can’t
deny its emotional punch. As long as Lord and Miller are directing, can we also
have Hungry Hungry Hippos movie,
please?
3/5
