prevnext#DetectivePikachu is a Pokémon fan’s dream movie - super adorable in spots w/ just enough action and humor to fuel a good time no matter your Pokémon knowledge. Plus, it’s got a choice Seinfeld reference, so points for that! pic.twitter.com/6beAGt6gSr

prevnextAm holding my review until tomorrow at 7-ish, but #DetectivePikachu is indeed quite a bit of kid-friendly fantasy fun.

prevnext#DetectivePikachu is made for #Pokemon fans and features a hyper-cute title character, but its half-baked plot and ridiculous reveals will leave casual moviegoers scratching their heads. https://t.co/e9rLsYaoWe

prevnextDETECTIVE PIKACHU is a like successful recipe on Chopped; somehow they combined gummi bears, smoked salmon, and marmite into something that tastes great
