It was cute but, I actually enjoyed the movie more🤷♂️ I give it a 2.5
Also there are some very problematic things in the book like fat phobia and a hint of racism when the grasshopper says he would rather be cooked and eaten by a Mexican, which was a very unnecessary line and honestly a gross thing to write.
