New Zealand's Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement join forces with Inbetweeners co-creator Iain Morris for a wacky, endearing remake that's worth your time
Jemaine Clement join forces with Inbetweeners co-creator Iain Morris for a wacky, endearing remake that's worth your time to write a story about a young boy who joins a crew of time-hopping thieves. Fantastical, funny, and brimming with odd-ball charm, it was a surprise smash at the box office.
Nerds everywhere will identify with Kevin , the boy who accidentally joins the Time Bandits when they blunder into his bedroom. He’s always last pick on the football team but an expert on Mayan civilisation and the board gameto his backstory: he too starts the series trapped in drab suburbia with adults who don’t understand him , unaware of the mind-bending adventures that lie in store.
Penelope and the gang – which also includes Tadhg Murphy as the flamboyant Alto and Roger Nsengiyumva as the flaky Widgit – have stolen their ex-boss’s time map. This isn’t just any cartographical curio. It is a magical device used to locate portals to various spots along the timeline, including Kevin’s bedroom. Fleeing the Supreme Being, they accidentally drag Kevin through the latest temporal maelstrom and wind up on an 18th century Chinese pirate ship.
