TheLittleMermaid : Charming , but incredibly spotty . Halle Bailey , Jonah Hauer - King , Melissa McCarthy & Javier Bardem put their heart & souls into a plastic film that ca n’t escape its animated legacy . Best when it leans into campy bonkers , yet limits its illusion elements for no reason.pic.twitter.com/c7Bt2BO5rq
