Lisa Kudrow & the blue Giant

While I certainly wouldn't deny that writer/director Scott Prendergast's debut was entertaining, Kabluey is mostly a one-joke movie that can't survive the short-to-feature treatment. Kabluey plays on the cuteness of its giant blue mascot and its cast, but it isn't enough to make us swallow its cliche awkward male babysitter premise -- Arnold and Vin Diesel already went that way -- and its flag-waving feel. Kabluey is the kind of safe entertainment you can enjoy on a flight, but certainly not something you should pay $11 for. Prendergast, his star Lisa Kudrow and some of the cast were present for a short Q&A.
