Hardcore "School of Rock" vibes, with Devine basically doing a full-on poor man's impression of Jack Black. It's nowhere near the inspired fun of that comedy classic, and there's not nearly enough actual, practical, impressive magic (until the final performance). Still, the fun cast of kid characters and unexpected sweetness make it a worthwhile watch for anyone with kids...my 7-year-old was OBSESSED. Again though...if it's an option, just (re-)watch the far superior School of Rock instead.

Well... It was family friendly movie with lame Disney plot. On the other hand, what else you can expect? Why it was called "Comedy" I have no clue. The jokes were so outdated and not funny, it didn't make me not even once. Possible to watch but there a way better comedies or family friendly movies so I wouldn't recommend to spend 1h 30min for this.

Andy (Adam Devine) drives a Lyft/Uber in Vegas. A former magician down on his luck. His former partner Darkwood (Gillian Jacobs ) is a headliner at Caesar's Palace. Both become instructors at Magic Camp and are divided into 4 groups. Andy has all raw newbies with one promising stage fright student, Theo (Nathaniel Logan McIntyre).

This has all the makings of Meatballs 2. Things are very predictable. On two occasions the kids say something that sounds similar to "buck ya" except it sounds more obscene. Is this something the PG censors missed or is there another slang out there I don't know about.
