My Big Fat Greek Wedding

: Is it My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, described in the New York Times as a washed-out recycling of ethnic clichés and exhausted jokes If it was 1965 maybe, according to Toronto Star. The truth is, the most psychologically complex, narratively sophisticated movie in theatres right now is Zootopia, an allegorical masterpiece that delves into the kind of nuanced social politics that typically inform talking head debates on CNN. It not only addresses issues like racism and inequality without preaching; it explores — with giddy good humour — how prejudice can exist in the most progressive environments and how life is lived in shades of grey, not black and white. Is it Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which sees two men in leotards beating each other brains out for two hours and 31 minutes Oh, come on. It the same theme that defined last year kid flick masterpiece Inside Out, an animated groundbreaker that delved into the emotions of a teenage girl and made a valiant case for the role of sadness. It like somehow, when no one was paying attention, the entire cinematic universe suddenly turned upside down. And then there were Up, Big Hero 6, Wall-E, Wreck-It Ralph, Tangled and Frozen.
