The Super Mario Bros. Movie aired at Studio Universal here in Brazil today at 9pm BRT, and my mom wanted to watch it. I decided to watch with her.
Well, we both had a great time. The movie is filled with video-game references like the original Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country and even some of the latter games like Super Mario 3D World, which was really fun.
I would say the mix of adventure, comedy and action works really well, so the movie is not too serious, but also not too goofy. We had a lot of laughs, my mom loved the Luma at the prison. I also enjoyed the slight addiction of drama (Mario's family not putting faith on him at the beginning).
So, yeah, it was a great movie. It's good that it's not very long too, so it doesn't overstay it's welcome.
I give it a 8.5 out of 10.
