Review
A lonely Hawaiian girl befriends a mischievous alien engineered for destruction in a live-action remake that struggles to balance cartoon logic with the real world, making inexplicable changes along the way that serve practically no one. Wild swings between screwball gross-out comedy and earnest family drama feel jarring in a grounded setting, a balance the animated original managed largely because it was a cartoon. Rather than reworking the story for live action, the update awkwardly mimics the 2002 film beat for beat, mistaking imitation for homage.
