The review critiques the live-action remake of 'Lilo & Stitch,' expressing disappointment that it lacks the creativity and charm of the original animated film. The reviewer argues that the film addresses harsh, realistic themes, such as a struggling sister duo facing the threat of foster care, making it less enjoyable for younger audiences. While the young actress Maia Kealoha brings sweetness to Lilo's character, the overall sentiment is that the remake fails to evoke the same joy and whimsy as its animated predecessor, leaving viewers questioning the future of these remakes.
I like you better as a sister than a mom," says little orphaned Lilo to her older sister, Nani. "I like 'Lilo & Stitch' a lot better as a cartoon than yet another creativity-free live-action remake.
The House of Mouse's latest go at making childhood less magical is, at least, not as ponderous as 'Mufasa: The Lion King' or as universally unwanted as 'Snow White.'
Even the most adorable alien visitor can't help you sign up for Medicaid... I spent much of the movie actually thinking Lilo should go live with a more stable family.
The spunky, King-obsessed girl is played by a very young actress, 7-year-old Maia Kealoha, who's very sweet with Stitch - there are 'aww's aplenty - and that connection is all the movie's got going for it.
