Camp Hideout (2023) |
The problem is they have a bizarre plot with mafia thugs that are following our lead teen Noah played by Ethan Drew. We even get the Home Alone style antics left over from the 90s - rachelsreviews.net

The Hill (2023) |
Sadly the script isn't interested in such a complicated legacy but is content with cliched scenes of the preacher father who doesn't understand his talented son despite everyone else believing in him. - rachelsreviews.net
