When the reviews for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie came out, I assumed the movie had insulted someone’s mother. With a Rotten Tomatoes score of 41% from critics, you’d think this was an unwatchable movie. On the contrary, it feels exactly what a Super Mario Bros. movie should feel like.
Mario (Chris Pratt) and Luigi (Charlie Day) are living in the Mushroom Kingdom, ruled by Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy). But when her long lost sister, Rosalina (Brie Larson) is captured by Bowser Jr. (Benny Safdie), Peach and Toad (Keegan-Michael Key) embark on a rescue mission. The problem is that Mario, Luigi, Yoshi (Donald Glover), and Bowser (Jack Black) are also on the quest to find Peach because Bowser Jr. tried to take Princess Peach’s castle. From there, the fight is on.
