Slumberland

"In the end, the biggest problem with Slumberland is its utter innocuousness."

"Mercifully devoid of the winking smugness that drowns so many other kids’ movies, there are certainly worse prospects."

"Overall this remarkably glum, logy, convoluted and unengaging movie has only a vestigial relation to McCay’s work. McCay fans should beware. So should everyone else."

"Slumberland is nothing if not an exhausting roller-coaster of missed opportunities, virtually all of which stem from the film’s lack of a solid emotional foundation."

"Momoa shows off a gift for a broad comedy, fearlessly delivering a goofy and sweet swagger."

"Slumberland’s loose adaptation is Disneyfied in plot and theme, and self-smothering of a feeble imagination that barely outpaces its images."

"Lawrence doesn't make incompetent movies, but his work rarely feels inspired. Slumberland is no different."

"Flip’s glib self-amusement regularly throws the film off of its emotional trajectory, blunting its intended resonance with dissonant goofiness."

"This movie manages to dazzle at times, but more often than not hurts the eyes..."

"For all the surface wildness of Lawrence’s Slumberland, it’s about as rule-following a family pic as you can find."
