The Discreet Insensitivity of ‘Slumberland’
The cultural insensitivity of 'Slumberland' is discreet, and can be easily overlooked in CGI extravaganza.

When a rogue clone escapes from a top-secret facility, a highly skilled field agent is paired with a bumbling scientist in the hilarious action-comedy 'Goo Darts.' As they embark on their mission, the agent must overcome his frustration with his hapless partner's antics and lead them to success before time runs out. However, their mission takes a turn for the absurd when the scientist mixes up the otherworldly darts they need to capture the clone, unleashing a barrage of gooey chaos that threatens to derail their efforts. With their only chance at success slipping away, they risk not only their own lives, but being replaced by their own clones.
