Based on the logline premise, poster, MPAA rating, and marketing, this is a "children's" film. However, there is really NOTHING here for children; it's very violent, overly adult, darkly charactered, and mean. Luckily, I'm not a child, so I found it delightfully silly in all its hot-headed hedonism. Just when it's mean-spiritedness begins to overwhelm the fun, it quickly turns the corner, making a point about the uselessness of selfishness. Most surprisingly, Silvestri's score is great.
