No pun intended - I reckon towards the end there is also the Ugly ... which is why I have a bit of mixed feelings. This seems mostly fun and games - yes the stakes are high. But the mood change that occurs ... is almost uncalled for and in my view almost derails the movie ... I say almost because it still is able to swing around and become a bit lighter! Though I reckon that is not entirely true about the kids toy ... but you'll understand once you watch.

The kid is really good by the way. Most of the actors are doing a phenomenal job. With kids you do not always know what you'll be getting - she is one to watch for sure. The whole thing (premise wise) is based on a true story. But I reckon they made up the characters - which seems to be supported by what you get to read in the end credits.

Talking of which, if you were entertained by the movie - there is a short clip after the credits rolled ... which is a nice touch! Nothing big, but a fun one for those who care. The odds were in their favor it seems ... (not just two to one) ...
