7.5/10

Too Old For Fairy Tales is hard to pin down, so rather than try and fail, I will simply recommen it...It’s not what you might expect at first and really never remains one thing for too long in a way that reflects the movements of life and growing up.

While Too Old for Fairy Tales has an endearing plot, it takes a while to get to the good stuff.

“Nice” is the strongest descriptor I can conjure for this movie, which is ever so slightly too meandering for its own good, and leans too heavily on cliches and familiarities

With a nice, wholesome ending, overall this film is an easy, sweet, quirky watch. I’d recommend for younger audiences; some adults, mostly parents, might find parts to relate to.

Great movie following the life of a young boy and his world of gaming. When his mother needs to get help from her Aunt things change. It is a comedy with a message to younger viewers. Look for a English version for younger views or they would need to read subtitles which may impact their full enjoyment of the movie. Now actually a trilogy of 3 separate movies based on the 3 friends. We as a family have enjoyed all the movies and found the subjects they focus on very enlightening. Well worth viewing and suggesting to younger viewers.

Thought it had potential. Trying something different to watch. Don’t really understand the point to the film. Very long winded and boring. Bad acting.. not very good

Absurdly stupid. I couldn't understand any of it so I stopped watching but I can just assume it is terrible.
