Bobbleheads The Movie Review
Bobbleheads The Movie is definitely one that will speak more to the kids in your house than to the adults. The storyline is a little flat and a lot predictable. It's corny, but lacks the "awww" factor that makes corny something I usually enjoy. The bobbleheads are in danger when their owner's brother and his wife come uninvited to their house and set up for a few days. It takes a while for them to figure out what the intruders are up to, but through this effort, they find out what it means to be a "family" and work together. The best scene in the movie is when Bobblehead Cher (I'm still not real clear on how or why she appeared, but anyway. . .) meets with our bobbles and provides some words of wisdom and life lessons. It gives them just the boost of courage they need to bobble on!
While I found myself checking my watch a few times during the movie, my 5 year old couldn't take his eyes off of it. It's brightly colored, features talking toys, and also has some easy to understand comedy with physical humor throughout. And there's a lot of "movement" as the bobbleheads truly bobble the entire movie (word of warning if you get motion sick!). When I asked him what he thought of the movie, he said he really liked it, but when I asked him what the movie was about he couldn't tell me. I think that 5 year old perspective probably summarizes Bobbleheads The Movie best - it's a fine way to laugh and pass the time but ultimately the story and characters lack that memorable movie feel and will likely not appeal to the parents watching with their kids.
