Concept: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Story: 1/4 (Bad). A cookie-cutter story arc, and long stretches of stuff that has nothing to do with anything.
Characters: 1/4 (Bad)
Dialog: 4/4 (Great)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent). A frantic mess, but often in a good way.
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good). Great design. Some pretty bad animation.
Acting: 3/4 (Good). The child leads are mediocre at best, but there are some great comedic performances.
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). Manic beyond all reason, and hilarious. One of those surprise movies that has no business being as good as it is.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.3/4 (Okay)
