Trolls

Far too sweet.
So I did not realize that trolls are still popular. I remember all the Tweens had at least one back when I was in jr. High a long time ago, but now I can see from this movie how diverse the toy line has gotten, in their plot to sell them to the masses.
This movie shoves so much sugar into my throat I thought my teeth were going to rot. It’s like some one just poured a big bag of it into some Kool Aid and you have to ask yourself do you like Kool Aid or the big sugar rush you just got?
And by sugar, I’m talking about the parade of pop songs. The music is good, how could in not be when you got Justin Timberlake singing. Ana Kendrick is pretty good too starting us out off the bat with two original songs the film produces.
The animation is really, really, I mean really colorful. Blindingly colorful once again used as fluff to sugarcoat the fact that the movie really has no substance
It kinda insulting the lack of actual effort I’m getting from this movie.
I’m not really into musicals but my mind is an open book. Trolls did nothing to change my mind on the musical. The songs are really good but I got little in-between them to and it helps that the film also uses some stock classic. I kinda hate it when musicals do that. Stop taking other people’s songs and write your own for the movie.

Hearing Timberlake and Kendrick duet off of True colors was beautiful,  but would be just as satisfying hearing them do it on a soundtrack versus watching their voices come out of the Trolls.

Just a little too pop perfect.
