Duck Duck Goose (2018), a movie came to my interest after its infamous tagline popping up on several of my internet feeds and as the person I am, I definitely had to check this one out and quite honestly, it's just average.
For a start it's a China/American production and it's portrayal of China is outright flattering. The main character isn't anything special, the ducks are just there for cute faces (Except the fart jokes, I hate them), the girl is practically useless. Voice acting is nothing notable of. The emotional core about belonging didn't warm up to me and ends up falling face flat onto the ground, I don't know if its me being a cruel person or the movie underdeveloped it. Who knows! The animation is fine, if average considering what we usually get with animation these days. The jokes are more misses than hits (Jeez, the Restaurant scene nearly made me turn it off).
Overall, a very average movie that I really did not connect to, this continues my streak of Chinese/American animated production that have let me down (I'm looking at you Monkey King 2023) and one that I'd highly suggest skipping, maybe your younger one will enjoy. All I got to say is, it's better than Norm of the North.
