Despicable me 3 is serviceable family entertainment. In my Opinion, the film isn't as good as the first two but it is a step above minions. The movie has your usual good animation good voice acting and colorful colors but the plot is weaker and the villain is under used. Also without credits the movie clocks in at only an hour and 22 minutes. It's a fun movie with some jokes and fans will enjoy it but I wish more characterization was developed between him and his brother and the villain. Which did have a lot of potential.
El Camino Christmas is your typical made for Netflix movie. It's a movie that would've never made it into the box office despite having a good decent cast. Performances are decent and once you get to The actual heist things do pick up but before then the movie is a jumbled bore. The pacing overall is pretty bad and the dialogue is not very engaging. It feels like a typical direct to DVD or Netflix movie just with a better than average cast.
Bad Moms is a decent comedy with some great laughs. The cast works great and they seem to have good chemistry together. Like most comedies, there are some jokes here that don't really work and the plot is a little thin. If you are looking for something in the vein of bridesmaids, bad moms is a decent choice.
The concept behind map to the stars is interesting and the movie is filled with great performances as well. Any satire about Hollywood life is very interesting to me. Unfortunately it's the directing that hammers this one. The pacing especially the first half of the movie is absolutely awful. There's too many slow scenes and events that happened that Are not explained. It had a creepy ending as well.
Kung fu panda 3 is yet another great addition in the trilogy. I would rate Kung fu panda three above the second film but still not as good as the original. The film is fast paced with good animation, likable characters, and good voice acting. The film is not going to blow anybody away it's just a good addition to the previous films. If you're happy with that you would enjoy this.
