Cheaper by the Dozen (2022)
Is it for real or just a market survey?
Disney is a company used to play high stakes in the big screen, one day can lose 80 millions with the Lone Ranger and the next day to win 600 millions with Frozen. But in the streaming service, the business consists in attracting new subscribers by offering productions that can convince people to open a new account. Disney succeeded up to now with their Star Wars rip offs but is still in third place after Nexflix and Amazon Prime, so they thought it's time to try with woke. Apparently, the results are negative as this version of "Cheaper by the dozen" is the second worst IMDb-rated Disney movie of all time, second to "Inspector Gadget 2" (and that was a direct-to-DVD stuff). Critics don't help either, so...is this some kind of market survey, a social experiment or something like that? Are Disney's intentions just to gather statistics for future releases? Because if woke is going down, there'll be some changes. After all, we're talking about a billionaire company, and those companies don't make such a ton of money by being the minorities' voice. Disney released this movie to see if there's really a profit in it, and if there's not, some pockets will suffer... and that's not what the shareholders will like.
Adventures in Babysitting (2016)
Not as fun as they intend to be
A typical remake nobody asked for, but in this case doubled up, because in order to make it different, we don't have one babysitter but two of them. But that doesn't mean the movie was going to be twice as funny, actually this version is half as funny as the 1987's Chris Columbus release (no wonder the original one has 77% in Rotten Tomatoes), but even letting aside the original, this is not as watchable as other Disney movies like Descendants or Cloud Nine. But the most awkward thing Disney did to promote this movie was to take poor Sofia Carson and make her wear an impressive one piece swimsuit showing the best legs in Disney Channel's history, when there was absolutely no reason for that. Let's face it: that's the only one good reason to watch this movie. But when Disney tried to recreate one of the highlights of the 1987's version, only achieved to stage the most shameful rap performance ever seen on TV ("We're not quitters / we're the babysitters"). For these reasons, I don't think this remake should have a positive review. But I would like to see more from Sofia in the future, maybe not in Disney but, you know, if have it show it.
