TSLOP makes for a great evening out with friends and children. It is a rather straightforward tale about pets, the importance of friendship and being there for one another when it matters most. And that while there are bad humans (think: the Chennai medical college students) here’s a reminder that there are good, kind ones, too. And it doesn’t hurt, that it’s rather funny, too.

If you’re a sucker for a tale where you root for the ‘sequel’ where the hero returns for closure (or possibly new beginnings), this film is for you. If you expected it to be more, you might as well let out a Tarzan yell in frustration.

Nothing quite as entertaining as the first film. And that’s saying a lot more than I should. It’d take something of a magic trick to pull off a win with this one, despite some clearly winsome performances.

Dory definitely deserves a one-time viewing at least. It’s been a while and we’ve missed her. Beyond that, well, that’s up to you….

The Gosling-Crowe pairing, obviously. The promise of some great jokes. A lot of murders. And a time long gone. Go, if you’re into all that.

For someone still reeling from the after-effects of watching Not A Love Story (never mind that RGV had a string of could-have-beens after that), this comes as an opportunity to prove us wrong, wasted. Where have all the Shivas, Satyas, Sarkars and Shools gone?

Don’t go in with too many expectations and you won’t be disappointed. It’s worth one viewing but could have been more than just that.

An unnecessarily convoluted though fairly decent film that tries to pack as much of everything as it possibly can, it ends up a great pav bhaji instead of being a great pasta. Both have their own merits, only one doesn’t require pounding the living daylights out of your ingredients.

It should be a criminal offence to be asked to watch this film. You’re better off watching Face/Off instead.

Screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely never let your interest dip and the Russos make sure everybody gets a line (or more) in. This is a build-up to other movies and to keep with it, you have to watch this movie to the very end – there’s a mid-credit teaser as well as one that rolls after all the end credits have.
