I wanted to like The Mitchells vs the Machines. I did. And the animation is sometimes really fun. It's quirky, and it incorporates drawings in a different style on top of its regular style of animation. But this has the most hokey family-is-everything narrative that it begins with and just never releases. This film really believes that family is everything. I just can't handle this kind of ideological approach to family.
I liked all the robots. They all made me laugh. And I liked the small boy in this movie – his name is Aaron. But the whole "family' bit is just not for me.
You can watch The Mitchells vs the Machines on Netflix.
