This movie has to be one of the worst I've ever seen. Over acting, poorly constructed jokes, visual effects made in a high school computer science class. my toddler loves it though. I personally can't wait for Netflix to get rid of this movie.

As a fan of the cartoon, one of my favorites of all my life, I expected more for the first live-action version of the Woody Woodpecker. The result is a bit disappointing. Woody Woodpecker's first movie resulted in a silly, uninspired film with very poor acting. The good things are just the funny situations created by Woody and his characteristic laughter that animated my mornings in childhood and adolescence.

I have no idea why the writers found it necessary to start the movie with a broken family plot. Rich dad divorces mom and hooks up with younger sex object who needs a "Xanny" at one point. Why?! Dad is forced to take kid along on a vacation which really is dad trying to build a mansion in the forest. I think a key aspect of writing for kids is that the writers have kids. Are we targeting ages 4 - 7? 8 to 10? up to 12 years old (because they won't believe a woodpecker drummed on soup cans to produce Jon Bonham-esque sound).I feel sorry for anyone who had any role in this project, but mostly anyone who decided to watch it.Why? Just why.

Bad emotion of every actor and actress. Bad script. My kid watched it with flat expression, even when the movie try to make us laugh. Hopefully there's another woody woodpecker better movie next time.
