Disney's big bold gender/ethnicity box-ticking statement movie is a surprisingly tepid and dull affair, which is considerably less than the sum of its parts. The whole film feels underpowered, with a one-note script that is more a collection of soundbites on love, family and empowerment, and with an episodic plot that limps along and falls apart in the final act. Performances from the younger and older cast members are appropriate to the limited material and style, but overall the ambition that was so clearly evident for this film has not really translated onto the screen effectively.
