Us

A run of the mill family are on holiday when they are terrorised by their seemingly immortal and extremely brutal doppelgängers. I liked this - it's not remotely scary, in fact it is actually quite funny - in a perverse sort of way. The acrobatic kids cavorting about with limbs that bend (and break) every which way belong in the Olympics. It's hardly original, either - you'll have seen plenty other films in the same vein - but it is FUN! It moves along entertainingly and though the dialogue is not going to trouble a Pulitzer jury, it is almost two hours of escapism that makes no pretence to be otherwise. (Yes, the ending is pretty darned dreadful!).
