This is not a Pixar movie that appeals to adults just as much as kids. (BTW, this is a Universal/Illumination production.) It’s pretty much a young kids’ movie, beginning to end. This is one of those movies that mom and dad do rock, paper, scissors to decide who has to sit through the movie with their kid(s).
There were a lot of children in the theater when I saw the movie and they all seemed engaged in the antics. I heard giggles and other reactions throughout. I even heard a young girl say, “This movie was awesome,” to her parent as they walked out of the theater.

The one cool thing I got out of the movie was that Stephen Colbert was the voice of their new neighbor. But at the same time, Will Ferrell was totally wasted as the voice for Maxime. I had no idea that was him. They could have gotten anyone to do that character with a horrible French accent.
Grade: A (for kids) D (for adults).
About The Peetimes: I have two good Peetimes. There are a few antics in each, but nothing major. I would recommend the 2nd Peetime. It’s one long scene that is easy to summarize.
There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Despicable Me 4.
What people are saying about the RunPee app.
Single best investment
By and far best investment Ive made. I used to drive my husband nuts because Id be a fidgeting mess the last half hour of the movie trying not to miss important parts. Now I just turn this app on and *bam* I can actually focus on the movie the whole time. Even puts alerts to my watch so even better. Also I can guarentee all the 5 reviews arent fake as one person accused – its just that so many of us movie-goers had the same problem and this fixed it. Yes, it is paid but jeeze its expensive to keep watching movies and updating an app for every movie. And if you read more about the creator he mentions he has several people contributing – so yeah its paid but omg worth every cent. 10/10
