The LEGO Ninjago Movie — Good but disappointing — 6*/10

To my taste, it contains too many real elements, or I should say some elements from the real world are too present onscreen. I think it breaks the mood. Plus, there are too many long speeches.

That being said, I think it's funny and entertaining.

Jackie Chan, Dave Franco, Fred Armisen and Michael Peña.

Despicable Me 3 — Pretty funny, better than the second one — 7*/10

Funny, hilarious at time, with lots of great details and many throwbacks to the 80s, it's definitely a better sequel to the original (read my review here) than the second one. If you like that universe, it's a no-brainer.

Steve Carell and Kristen Wiig.

Cars 3 — Get your Pixar fix with this fun animation — 6*/10

Good solid entertainment. Overall, touching, plus, even though the story was in a way very easy and safe for the creators, it still had a few surprises and many great details. Not the equal of the first one, but pretty interesting.

Owen Wilson, Chris Cooper and Nathan Fillion.

Captain Underpants — You'll see it for your kids, but you'll enjoy yourself too — 6*/10

Simple, yet witty and full of interesting details. You will not find many layered levels of comedy, but you will chuckle at things your kid won't understand. Plus, the story is pretty positive.

Kevin Hart.

The Boss Baby — Turn your brain off and be ready to laugh! — 6*/10

Be open to simple silliness, caricatural behavior and an alternate reality type animation and you'll be really entertained. Very funny. It doesn't take itself seriously and you shouldn't either. Nice ending. Enjoy it.

Alec Baldwin, Steve Buscemi, Jimmy Kimmel, Lisa Kudrow and Tobey Maguire.

Sing — Great animation film fun for all — 8*/10

It's easy to love this flick. As adults, there are a myriad of great little jokes and some awesome music. It's even touching. As a kid, it's full of silly stuff and bright colors, although some might shed a tear or two. No worries, though, it's very positive. A must for the family.

Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson and John C. Reilly.

• Style: Don't look for anything highbrow, it's all below the belt. 
• Story: Full of action, laughter, and very stupid stuff. You need to turn your brain off to enjoy it, although, if you do so, you might miss some not so subtle pokes at society and world affairs. If you stop to think about what is actually happening in some of the scenes, it's hair-raising and totally ghoulish. However, since it's ridiculous from one end to another, it's impossible to take them that seriously.
• Ending: So funny. Mind-blowing. Completely out there and absurd.
• Epilogue: They went one better with the story arc. Not sure if I like it, it was already surreal enough as is, but I have to give them props for it.
• Dialogs: Extremely funny and totally irreverent. All the innuendos you can make about sausage and buns, well, they're doing them and then some, very explicitly. It's hilarious, mostly because you can't believe they just said that.
• Characters: Very simple.
• Acting: Simple.
• Visuals: Simple
