Pass it on

Buddy

41Leave it.

Forced cheer is a cage. The child who says no is the one the show cannot bear.

Take controlThis scores 41. Buddy cannot be blocked by name on this shelf. The lock is the phone. Block it

The review

Inside a 1990s children's program, an orange unicorn leads the songs. A boy will not join the dance. He vanishes, and the host tells the others he has gone to a perfect city. Another child finds what he left, and it is not a postcard. The public story stops at the crack: the cheer was the lock, and the no was the thing the lock could not allow.

Do not put this in front of a child who still loves a show like it. The measure is for the adult who presses play. A smile that punishes the child who will not wear it is not friendship. It is a host.

Journal

Keep Buddy in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 41. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Goosebumps

54 instead of 41

Goosebumps is still a horror film, and it scores 54 instead of 41. What you gain is temperance: Meddling is how it starts.

The eight

3
Industry
The work of the show is coerced joy. That is not a craft. It is a demand.
4
Household
The children are the cast and the captives. No parent is in the room that matters.
2
Piety
The host's happiness is the only creed, and it is a lie.
7
Courage
One child refuses the dance. The refusal is the brave act.
4
Republic
A set is not a people. The children are being governed by a toy.
3
Temperance
The horror is built out of a children's show. That is the point, and it is a cost.
6
Truth
The host says the missing child has gone somewhere wonderful. The picture shows that this is not true.
4
Stewardship
Nothing is being kept for the children. They are being spent to keep the show smiling.

Guardians of the Galaxy

The choosing of each other is good. The jokes do the work the film will not sit with.

The review

A child is taken, a mother dies, and the film decides almost immediately that the feeling should be a soundtrack. That is the bargain of this picture. Under the bargain there is a real choice: four people who owe each other nothing go back. A tree says we are Groot, and means it.

You can watch that choice. Do not let the quips teach the house that every grave needs a joke on top of it. A teenager will quote the joke. Ask them to quote the return.
