The main conflict is with the daughter and father butting heads for their different ideologies, but the core theme in the movie is about a family trying to understand one-another and fix their relationship, quirks and all.
And the dad specifically isn't deathly allergic to technology or thinks in an out of touch "RAW, ALL TECHNOLOGY IS AWFUL!", but he wishes his family could have more moderation between screen time and physical interaction.
I literally lol'd multiple times, which I usually only do in movie theaters when you're swept up with the crowd.
Excellent, funny film. When the

I just got done watching it with the kids and we all loved it. There were some genuine belly laughs from me and I got choked up at the end, not going to lie.
I'm watching this now and absolutely loving it so far. It's way better than what the trailers showed and it's genuinely hilarious.
Prancer in the canyon had me in stitches lol.

I walked right into that one....while typing all of this on my iPad in ghoulish blue light lol. Probably doesn't help that I was watching this while working. My shift ends soon though so I'll just continue watching it while having dinner. :)
love it
I'm sad we couldn't watch this in the theater but it can be seen now and that's all good

If Genndy Tartakovsky's film is great Sony is gonna be a serious animation powerhouse going forward.
This movie has a Goofy Movie "Perfect Cast" moment and I am here for it.
Also really great how the main character is openly queer.
Finally, the climax when they sing "Live Your Life"...couldn't help but smile. Just a jolly movie that gets better as it goes. I was actually kinda eh in the first 15 minutes, but it gets better and better. Maybe I just opened my mind more as it went, or maybe it really did get better.

That was pretty good. But why did they have to
I really hope someone got fired for that blunder.

Fantastic movie! Gorgeous art direction and animation , great gags, and a lot of heart. Whole family loved it
I'll echo what everybody here says, this was pretty great. Along with Spiderverse, Sony Animation seems to be on a role and hopefully Tartakovsky's work is equally great. The animation/art direction, jokes, voice acting, and heart were fantastic.
The Furby scenes lol
He voices the
robot in the in-flight video for Foolish Human Airlines
Enjoyed this movie with the fam last night. Both the wife and I took issue with the Dad's complete disconnect with his daughter, but its important to the plot. Still a very fun movie and my kids enjoyed it.
This was kinda great, wholesome fun and pretty cute, although sometimes it tries to be too cute. :P
The animation style and rendering is as fascinating as it appeared to look in the trailers. A flat out great looking, visually-inventive movie going at 100MPH at all times. Only grip I have is it seems they added a film grain filter at the last minute (it's not in any of the trailers), makes the movie look unnecessarily a tad grimy, and I think might be responsible for the colors not popping as much as they could. It's also only 1080p on Netflix for some inexplicable reason and I'm not sure it was graded for HDR at all. I assume Sony still has the rights to home video so maybe they will do this movie right eventually.
You know, Sony Pictures Animations puts some really great, creative stuff out there sometimes. More often than what some of their big-time competitors do if you ask me!
Selling the film to Netflix might have been shortsighted since it turned out great and it seems theaters are finally making come back but it was the safest decision back then I guess.

It was pretty amazing. It's one of those films where I look at the creativity on display and wonder why so few movies go that crazy. Like look at all the crazy stuff this and Spider-Verse did animation and art design-wise and compare it to almost any other movie.
The family drama works but I'm sick of films with that exact plot line/theme. Luckily the movie was so good I wasn't too bothered.
It reminded me a lot of Goofy Movie.
My head canon is

Pal was onto the May that point and just destroyed or blew up the WiFi at all the other stores.
I went to this movie with zero expectations.
But man... How does Sony Animation goes from Hotel Transylvania and freaking Emoji Movie to Spider-Verse and this!?
It was so much fun, I was laughing constantly, and visually it's almost as impressive as Spider-Verse. Just so incredibly creative.

Oh my god, it might seem dumb but I was over the moon with the revelation in the end that Katie likes girls.
I remember earlier in the film it seemed like she was interested in a new friend from college, but I just took it as being friendship at the time because I'm tired of having hope for LGBTQ+ representation in animated films. But in the ending you see a rainbow button on her shirt and I was like "huh...", and then seconds later it's straight up confirmed lol. Goddamn this is how you do it right, please take notes Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks and everyone else.

It's all in the pedigree. Lord and Miller did the Lego movie and Spiderverse and this movie as well.
As far as the spoiler
It is nice they have an lgbtq+ character that gets to be an actual character instead of a character defined by their gayness. It is also nice it is alluded to at the start of the movie as well and the parents are both really supportive
Just watched it, good movie. They really nailed the emotional scenes.

I maintain it's a sad how studios like Pixar and Disney have essentially unlimited money, resources and talent and yet they never really try to take a chance to do something truly visually different from the norm from an animation standpoint. They made movies that look reasonably different from each other to be sure, but all of them seem to share the same rendering pipeline and style. Their photorealistic-like lighting and shading seems to work out the same way in every movie. CGI has potential for being so much more. And it's borderline bizarre how movies like the Hotel Transylvania franchise has more respect and reverence for Disney's principles of animation than Disney themselves these days. Where my squash and stretch at.
