Featured reviews
My entire family loves this movie. What a wonderful message and such fabulous musical numbers. Joshua Dela Cruz is an amazing actor and musician. We loved getting to see him shine in his Broadway background; he truly is a star. He is an inspiration for every little boy and girl wanting to achieve something big. We loved seeing so many cameos and having the three cousins come together. Blue and the crew are as cute as ever, and the plot line is perfect for its viewing audience. Children of all ages will be dancing, singing and playing along, helping Josh and Blue along the way. 10/10 recommend!
Blue's Big City Adventure had a lot of spunk, heart, and musical numbers. The kids loved seeing the storybook land, Steve & Joe, Josh's voice, and the songs. My oldest son rated this a 9/10, as an adult I would have rated it a 5 (watchable once).
The movie lacked plot, continuity, and sense most of the time. There's a night dancing scene right after he gets to New York (but it's day time with a same-day audition). Did not see the point in Josh talking to inanimate objects and them coming alive throughout the film- all it did was distract him from getting where he needed to go. Loved how all the main characters were willing to help one another but the "mystery" and "solution" of finding Josh didn't make sense (and didn't work). The "Blue's Clues" didn't help Josh find where he needed to go. A sad moment had my sensitive kid in tears (that was the only complaint he had for the movie was he didn't want to watch the sad part ever again). I disliked the phrasing of "this was Josh's only chance" for him to follow his dream- life isn't just the pursuit of one dream and a win-or-lose scenario! Even the cab driver told him it's the journey and he was still making it an all-or-nothing moment at the audition.
The overall themes of following your dreams, every day is a gift, & supporting your family (and family can be the ones you choose) were nice but personally felt so over-the-top that they weren't sincere.
There were several nostalgic moments for the older generations. Overall I just wish the story line was better. The actors have great chemistry & passion. I know this is a children's movie but it had the potential to be really special for multi-generations.
Side note: the camera shots, angles, and movements were obnoxious. Lots of jump cuts/sideways shots which got annoying. There were a few unique shots that didn't make me nauseous.

Not sure why this movie gets low ratings. It's a broadway inspired movie for KIDS...therefore there's a lot of music! There was enough storyline in there, the TV show is identical in terms of keeping it fun and simple. My almost 2 year was engaged throughout and loved the music and the in between enough to actually watch the whole thing. She danced and sang along enjoying the characters as usual. I even enjoyed it, who doesn't like colourful, musical entertainment with cute characters and humorous side kicks? It was also great that the original hosts were part of the production as well. I hope to see another production of Blues Clues soon.

The Blue's Clues & You cast takes a bite out of the "Big Apple" to follow their dreams in their new hit movie musical, Blue's Big City Adventures! This film has something for the entire family -- from big dreams, superb dance numbers, multi-talented guests appearances -- all while still managing to fit in Blue's clues to help along the way. While watching this magical film, you feel the joy and entertainment you always get from the Blue's Clues franchise!
Blue's Big City Adventures follows Blue's Clues & You host, Josh, (Joshua Dela Cruz), as he heads to New York for a dream audition for Rainbow Puppy, (Brianna Bryan), who is following her own dream of creating her first Broadway musical. As Josh and Blue (Traci Paige Johnson) start on the adventure of a lifetime to the big city, Josh realizes he left his handy-dandy notebook with the audition information and now has to uncover clues to help him get to the audition before three o'clock.
I love how well this film highlights all the incredible things that make New York, New York. From the busyness, its famous pretzels, Times Square jumbotrons, street performances, taxis and even, being known as the place where dreams are made true. This film is the perfect tour guide to New York. There are sensational cameos such as B. D. Wong, who helps Rainbow Puppy cast for her musical. The camera angles and the music are special features and contribute to keeping the storyline interesting and flowing, especially for younger viewers. Fun Fact: Joshua Dela Cruz's real-life story is very similar to his character Josh's in this film, in that he moved from Dubai to America to fulfill his dreams of being on Broadway the way Josh travels from Storybook World to New York to be on Broadway.
Of course, keeping with the Blue's Clues' theme of teaching life's lessons, Blue's Clues Big City Adventures, is packed with different messages. The biggest takeaway is how you should never give up on your dreams, otherwise, how will you know if you can make them a reality? Josh faces different obstacles while trying to pursue his "big break," including being nervous and losing his handy-dandy notebook, but he stays focus on his goal and ready to show what he can do.
I give Blue's Big City Adventures 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 18, plus adults who will love it too. This is truly the perfect movie for a family. Blue's Big City Adventures is available on Paramount+ beginning November 18, 2022. By Tiana S., KIDS FIRST!

Very childish, full of clues to follow, almost an adventurous Dora, if you change English for songs, cute little songs, and very, very childish, very cute animation, well produced, very playful, everything very delicate, colorful and cheerful to please the little ones, only the little ones, finally, boring...
