“Harold and the Purple Crayon” has a 28% score at Rotten Tomatoes with 38 reviews. Typically a new release will have at least 100 reviews, so even the critics didn’t want to see it.
A common theme in the reviews is that it’s a movie about imagination that doesn’t have any.
This quote from one of the reviews sums up my reaction to the trailer:
“Levi relies on the same shtick he used in two Shazam movies, playing the clueless man-child with incredible powers, but the routine is getting old.”
Zachary Levi’s performance is cringe worthy.
