The most awkward phase of most of our lives is when you reach that age that you’re too old to like kids movies in a healthy way but also too young to like kids movies in a healthy way.
Like that awkward teen time when you have to pretend to not enjoy a form of entertainment that is essentially universally enjoyed only to prove to people your age that you’re “not a baby”.
Idk if it is still like that. But I remember specifically being that age and my cousin who was like a year older mocked me for liking Elf with Will Farrell. It’s such a weird age.
Though I think this is primarily a part of toxic masculinity. Most girls I knew never had this pressure.
Went to see it on release day and this behaviour ruined it for my kids who were startled and frankly a little scared at how loud the older teens were.
