Well, I was vaguely familiar with the concept of "Monster High", from having seen the dolls around in toy stores, but I never seen anything on the TV. But I still opted to sit down and watch the 2022 TV movie titled "Monster High: The Movie". Why? Well, simply because I had the opportunity to do so, and because I had not already seen it.
Needless to say that I wasn't really expecting a whole lot from a movie aimed at a young female audience, but still I opted to give writers Billy Eddy, Matt Eddy, Greg Erb, Alfred Gough, Jenny Jaffe, Miles Millar, Jason Oremland, Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz the benefit of the doubt. And I will say that the writers actually put together a wholesome movie for the family here. I was actually surprised with the contents to the storyline, despite the dancing and singing.
The acting performances in "Monster High: The Movie" were good, and they definitely had some good talents on the cast list. I wasn't familiar with the actors and actresses here, but they carried the movie quite well.
Visually then "Monster High: The Movie" was okay. I mean, this is a family-friendly movie after all. But the make-up was actually fair enough. Lots of colorful and noticable characters in every scene.
Now, how true "Monster High: The Movie" is to the franchise, I can only guess. But I will say that director Todd Holland managed to put together a movie that was enjoyable to sit down and watch with the family.
My rating of "Monster High: The Movie" lands on a six out of ten stars.
