Das Geheimnis der Mumie

Here we have what's considered to be the first ever DCOM. It's 25 years old at the time of this review, and it shows a bit. While Scream Team is full of clever jokes and fun characters, Under Wraps takes a more slapstick approach with its comedy. With the emphasis being on the mummy's wandering about in the modern world, every other aspect of the storyline feels like a side story. On a positive note, the kids have great chemistry with each other and their acting performances are excellent. But much of what we're given here feels like something we've seen elsewhere. It's just entertaining enough but not too thrilling.

This is a very entertaining movie about 3 sub-teenagers who encounter a mummy who has been awoken from its sleep and must be returned to the crypt before midnight Halloween. The "horror" content is about nil and the movie is suitable for viewers of all ages (I believe it is "G" rated). The mummy's encounters with people in the world are very entertaining, and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It reminded me a lot of "Harry and the Hendersons".

I don't really know how to tell you how interesting this movie is, so I'll just lay out a few of the facts. The setting in "Under Wraps" is realistic. The characters' friendships were truthful. And this was funny. I especially like Clara Bryant, the actress who played Amy. She is very funny and a good performer. She also stars in "Tru Confessions" that came out in April. This has a Halloween kick to it and a realistic feeling to it. All the people in my family like it, so I think that everyone should see it around Halloween. It can be sad in some spots, and with great music, you got yourself a movie!

This movie is great. It is so much better than the woke remake. It is innocent and funny and doesn't force feed you obvious wokeness Disney is famous for now.

I grew up on the original DCOMs and the Halloween ones were always my faves. Under Wraps is a good, warm movie for the family. Yes, it is late 90s, and yes, it is aimed at children with child actors, but the story is fun and cute and the humor pretty on point. Love it!
