Sort of a Review of Hatching Pete
I do not feel this can really be called a review when it could not keep my attention enough, so I did not really watch Hatching Pete all that closely. It was so bad that the highlight was the preview for the next Disney Channel Original Movie, Princess Protection Program coming on June 26. Now that is at least one I look forward to. Perhaps the lack of interest in this in the first place is part of why I did not really like it, but it really was too bare bones of a plot.
The movie seems to basically just revolve around Pete wanting to date his best friend’s sister and being the mascot as a favor for his best friend, who is allergic to the suit and promises to help him get a date with his sister. I guess it is not entirely horrible, but the whole thing is way too much just random basketball game mascot craziness leaving not much room for character development or anything. It just seems like a kind of drawn out movie plot that would have served better as a half hour special. Honestly I felt ready to turn it off before it was even half over and the only other movie I felt like this with was Wall-e, but perhaps that means this is an awesome movie in others minds, however some how I think it is seen very different and it does not have that much of an appeal. Wall-e turns out to have a decent ending, but I do not have the patience to wade through this movie to finish it until maybe later this weekend, however, I am in no rush and tempted to just delete from my DVR.
