Ever since the "We Don't Talk About Bruno" song became popular, I've been dying to see this film; after all, I love Disney films, and everyone I knew couldn't stop talking about the songs, about the characters, about the storyline. However, after officially seeing the film, I'm not exactly impressed.

The storyline was all right, and I understood it perfectly, but I think it's the emotional abuse towards Mirabel that really affected me. Every single person in the family wasn't behaving nicely to her, except her parents and perhaps Antonio, but while they all change at the end and realise their mistakes, it could not change my perspective on the film.

I like the fact that, by the end, all of the characters you thought were wrong change for good and learn that love is what saves the day, especially when it comes to your family, but did it really take so long to realise that? All these years, everybody looked down on Mirabel because she didn't have a special power like them, and only now did they realise she was the one who 'saves the family'. It seemed... predictable. But in the end, every animated show is about love and kindness, just as this film proves it.

The songs were probably my favourite thing about this film. The opening song, the song about the family, sung by Mirabel, was incredibly catchy, and I adored the "We Don't Talk About Bruno" song, hence its popularity. The rest of the songs were all right, but these two stood out for me the most, and they're the reason why my rating isn't too low.

In the end, I think it's a lovely film with a sweet message and a sweet storyline, but it didn't click for me, it didn't fit me, and that's why I give it three stars out of five.
