Timmy Failure is a slightly entertaining kids film filled with heart and wit, but one that you shouldn think too hard about, in which you will find the cracks of the plot and a deeper troubeling after thought of Timmy´s mental health (i´m notTimmy Failure is a slightly entertaining kids film filled with heart and wit, but one that you shouldn think too hard about, in which you will find the cracks of the plot and a deeper troubeling after thought of Timmy´s mental health (i´m not kidding).… Expand

from "Pearls Before Swine" cartoonist Stephan Pastis and Academy Award winner Tom McCarthy comes the funniest film I've seen in years. Kids will love it and adults might like it even more.

For a family film this was more than ok.

Nothing special and in time will become a filler for Disney+ catalogue but Disney produces a lot of this stuff for that specific target audience so with that in mind you can intuit the level of thisFor a family film this was more than ok.

Timmy Failure, Mistakes Were Made is a very fun, incredibly charming story of imagination and the fun of a odd-outlook on life. It’s adapted from the book written by Stephen Pastis, creator of newspaper comic Pearls Before Swine, so you knowTimmy Failure, Mistakes Were Made is a very fun, incredibly charming story of imagination and the fun of a odd-outlook on life. It’s adapted from the book written by Stephen Pastis, creator of newspaper comic Pearls Before Swine, so you know there will be a strong, often-slightly-demented and odd sense of humor (hell, it is in Portland Oregon and leans into its setting’s oddity) through this story of an 11-year-old detective. Timmy has a bad-haircut and a heck of an imagination, he talks to his (thankfully) voiceless imaginary polar bear, and has imaginary story cut-aways like Doug or JD on Scrubs. He seems himself as an Encyclopedia Brown, coming up with an elaborate plot going on his town. It’s sweet and fun and a great family flick. The relationship he has with his mother Lovegood (she was the titular character in Autopsy of Jane Done, good to see her up and about!) is true. There is a dark cloud in their lives of her money-troubles and other issues, and that allows a truer nature to this flick. Yeah, I recommend it.… Expand
