MOVIE REVIEW MOM GRADE: A

IN A NUTSHELL:

This cute movie is about Raj Patel, who is an expert at math but who is also secretly obsessed with his late father’s dream of becoming a rap musician.

The film was directed by Roshan Sethi. Writing credits go to Jamie King and Utkarsh Ambudkar.

THINGS I LIKED:

Manny Magnus impressively leads the cast as the youngest actor in the coming-of-age film. All of that talent in one little body definitely deserves a break-out movie! You might have noticed him in the cute film Home Team on Netflix. The rest of the cast includes Utkarsh Ambudkar, Punam Patel, Jake Choi, and more.
The first time I heard Utkarsh Ambudkar sing was in the comedy Pitch Perfect. https://amzn.to/3XtqIDn That musical franchise is my guilty pleasure in film. He was great in it, so I wonder why it took so long to feature him in a movie!
I got the biggest kick out of the mom in the movie.
The musical numbers are a lot of fun.
A quick scan of photographs in a house tells us immediately what the family situation is at the beginning of the movie. What’s a Disney movie without a death in the family?
I love that nurses are represented super smart. I currently teach classes at Arizona College of Nursing! Nurses ARE smart!
Cute Pi pajamas. Ha ha
This film is filled with wise lines. So are the raps!
I love that the story teaches kids that they can be many things at the same time; they don’t have to just pick one thing.
Yep, it gave me all the feels.
Keep watching during the final rolling credits to see a few more fun things.

THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE:

Nothing. I loved every minute!.
