I have
come to expect a certain level of weirdness and visual innovation from Gondry,
but in M&G it’s just too…. little.
It’s all too normal, and unfortunately the story is not gripping enough, nor
are the protagonists fascinating enough to catch my attention. At least in the
beginning; as the boys leave on their road trip, the pace quickens, and
eventually Gondry’s patented shenanigans shine through. It’s too little, too
late, though. Nevertheless, Microbe & Gasoile would probably have worked
better without the high expectations.
