Great movie but not for anyone under 14 and there’s no Wild Kratts here.
A great review
What's the Story?
In THE LOUD HOUSE MOVIE, the big family goes on a big adventure. Lincoln Loud (voiced by Asher Bishop), the only brother to 10 sisters, convinces the family to travel to Scotland to discover where they came from and finds out they're descendants of royalty. Lincoln, feeling trapped in his sisters' shadows, learns that he comes from a family exactly like his own. One of his great-cousins (from 400 years prior) was in a similar situation and became duke of the town. Lincoln tries to follow in those footsteps to seek attention and praise from the townspeople, but he soon realizes there's more to being a duke than just fame and fortune.
Is It Any Good?
This fun musical adventure pulls a little at the heartstrings. Lincoln Loud is a relatable character who wants to be appreciated. With a very busy, very loud and talented family, he's the one who keeps the ship running. But he's brushed aside and stuck in the shadow of his ten Loud sisters, who are the talk of the town. Instead of taking out his frustrations on his sisters, he looks for ways to find his own talents. With some encouragement from his best friend (who is a talented baker), Lincoln decides to convince his family to take an international vacation to learn more about their family. Along the way Lincoln is tricked into trouble. But when chaos ensues, his family has his back to pick up the pieces and help rebuild.
Though the animation style may not be everyone's cup of tea, the comedy, catchy music, and positive messages make it a film families can share together.
