The story has something that'll hit home for everyone, and makes it all the easier to love.
Even if you don't have young kids, this is definitely worth a watch.

I really did.
Starring Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon with the former as a woman who discovers her ex-boyfriend is a spy and the latter her best friend, this is meant to be a comedy/action film, but rarely delivers on either: I didn't find the (supposed to be) funny bits all that amusing, while the action bits seemed to belong to a different film entirely: one that had a hard R rating, perhaps.

Not as funny as I remember it being, unfortunately, with some questionable acting and the 4th wall breaking bits not really adding anything to the mix.
YMMV, of course!
Sophia (Bookwyrming Thoughts) (530 KP) rated Xander and the Lost Island of Monsters (Momotaro, #1) in Books

I think I've grown out of reading middle grade books now. I find that a little sad - the first book in Dilloways Momotaro series isn't even a bad book, aside from the fact I kept expecting a Percy Jackson vibe (which, in a way, it kind of does).
Xander and the Lost Island of Monsters - if we're going down the Percy Jackson vibe (I'm pretty sure the synopsis makes the comparison .) - is basically Japanese folklore set in modern day, with plenty of Japanese mythological creatures making an appearance. Unfortunately, Xander definitely resembles a Japanese version of Percy Jackson - blue eyes, black hair, twelve years old, and the only difference? Xander has a bit of silver streak in his hair (oh wait ) and he's mixed (Asian and Irish).
It's no wonder I expected a lot of humor out of Dilloway's book (comparisons = high expectations). The first Momotaro book does have the occasional funny moment, but it just isn't as funny as I hoped it would be. (That might just be the fact I'm nineteen.)
Xander and the Lost Island of Monsters is set in a comic book like format with illustrations featured throughout the book, and it will definitely appeal more to younger audiences than the older ones. (And hopefully, it'll be more funny to them than to me.)
