Quote: “Branch, we’re out of sync. We’ve gone from boys to men, and now there’s only one direction for us to go: the back streets.”- Floyd

Summary: Princess Poppy is shocked when her boyfriend, Branch, was once part of the short lived boy band, and joins the mission to rescue one of the band members.

The One Liner Review: NSYNC wanted to return with a bang, and really did by doing a song for a threequel that has eye popping animation, harmony, and a bit of a kid friendly drug trip that families will love (is the drug trip part a good thing?)

Quote: “Some people call these swamp potatoes, i like Katniss better, it’s got a nice ring to it.”- Lucy Gray Baird

The One Liner Review: One one hand, the actual games and the portrayal of the younger version of Donald Sutherland’s character was decent, on the other hand, the show was practically over after the games, making the third act drag on as it goes.

De Niro actually did spank DiCaprio with a real wooden paddle, but fortunally DiCaprio was wearing the buttocks pads.

Fun Facts: The animatronics was created in the Jim Henson Company.

The One Liner Review: The story is as wonky as the way animatronics move in the movie, sorry but some video games just don’t work in Hollywood.
