I wanted to see this movie because I love the graphic novels of Arthur de Pins. I must say I wasn't disappointed by the graphical style, very distinctive and peculiar.
But the story is abysmal, it is just your average cliché-ridden kid picture. There is some tongue-in-cheek humor, but nothing special. And the character development is cringeworthy. Gretchen could be quite interesting but seems barely there, the teacher is unbearable...
The dialogs are not so bad, but not brillant either. Gags are OK.
I guess kids may like this movie, as the generic main story will not bother them, but the nice visuals and the OK dialogs and gags will make it an enjoyable moment.
