I've been a fan of John Mulaney for years. But on my first viewing of this special, I started it and then stopped it. His rhythm is different. His tone and manner are different. I felt guilty at the notion that I may have preferred him as a comedian when he was using. I thought more about it and something hit me. I needed to grieve the loss of who I thought he was and make space for the truth of who he is. I went back and watched the whole thing thinking I may just need a moment to be reintroduced to him. So glad I did. He'll never be the same but wow he's still hilarious and this time it's sustainable. This special is really insightful, honest and genuine. It's rare for a comedian to leave me both laughing and reflecting. Definitely worth the watch.

The problem with reviews is movies for kids is that they're done by adults. If kids rated our movies we wouldn't want to see them. This movie is not for the adults. It's for kids. You have to watch this from the perspective of an 11 year old and see how you would have liked it. My kids loved it and thought it was wonderful. It's heartwarming, funny and actually has amazing special effects. There are also good family values with themes of family, fatherhood and the important of being yourself. Will it win an Oscar? No, definitely not. But my kids laughed and smiled and ignored their tablets while it was on. It gave us great family time as we enjoyed it together.

At first I wasn't sure what to make it of it because ifs been a while since I've seen a heartfelt funny family show and I just didn't expect it. It's hilarious and it's a sweet show about grief. Slow down and give it a chance, it's actually really good. Happy for Kenyan, I've heard him on interviews and he's a really humble down to earth guy, good for him.
