Animal Farm: Viva la Dystopia
This incarnation of Animal Farm is filled with the generic plot points, immature humor, cardboard characters and visual flaws that you have come to know from today’s lesser children’s films.

Four middle-aged men concoct a scheme which involves them insuring their lives, so that if one of them dies the others inherit a tidy sum. Suddenly fate throws a darkly comic chain of mishaps their way:

This remake of the Disney Channel Original Movie of the same name brings a strong representative cast.
In a film where a Black couple is framed to be the lead characters, they still managed to get shuffled off to the sidelines. The enthusiastic cast delivers well on goofy bits- but can only go so far before they begin to fall flat.
I imagine that it would be a dream job for an actor to play the parts of twin brothers Dominick and Thomas Birdsey in I Know This Much Is True.
‘Bruiser’ is an intense drama that explores unresolved childhood trauma and how it can affect the people around us.
The problem isn’t that it’s bad. It's good. But it fails to stand out from a crowd of similar films.
