Ultimately, what it lacks in comedy and childlike wonder, it does make up for in interesting takeaways. The notion of “being careful what you wish for“ isn't new, and it's not necessarily explored in any depth, but it is evident in the film - and more importantly, it's well harnessed through the chi ... ldren's family struggles. I like that it didn't shy away from difficult topics that many families face, but it really is aimed at a very young audience. 'Four Kids and It' will be great for young kids stuck at home, running out of things to watch and searching for adventure. It's entirely appropriate, but certainly not one of those family films you need to put time aside for to sit through with them. The magic in this one is lost. - Joel Kalkopf Read Joel's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-four-kids-and-it-be-careful-what-you-wish-for
