As what was proven in last year’s
Lego Scooby-Doo! Haunted Hollywood, Lego-izing
Scooby-Doo! yields delightful
results. I’m glad that they did it again
this year with Lego Scooby-Doo! Blowout
Beach Bash.
The movie follows the Mystery
Inc. crew as they go check out the annual Blowout Beach Bingo Bash – “three
fun-filled days of singing, dancing, games, and food.” Fred and Belma, after being teased by the
gang of being boring, are keen of winning the “Captains
of the Bash” titles in order to prove that they can be fun. Meanwhile, Scooby and Shaggy are drawn to the
giant beach barbecue. But when they
arrive at Blowout Beach, they discover that the festivities have been disrupted
by the appearance of the ghosts of Bonnie Bingo Belle and Captain Brutimore
Bash, from whose legend inspired the annual tradition at Blowout Beach. Thus, the Scooby Gang found themselves with
another case to solve.
I found Lego Scooby-Doo! Blowout Beach Bash to be less enjoyable than Lego Scooby-Doo! Haunted Hollywood. Maybe the novelty and charm of Lego-ized Scooby-Doo! just wore off. Nevertheless, the plot is silly and flimsy, the
twist and turns lack punch, and the jokes are thin. Objectively, it’s a mediocre movie.
But it still works as an
amusing, effortless diversion. It’s a
children’s movie after all. The Lego visuals
and physics working within its story make it somewhat endearing and vivacious, though
it falls short of cleverness and surprises. Personally, for recognizing what it is and expecting nothing more, I got to have sufficient fun with it.
If you can watch Lego Scooby-Doo! Blowout Beach Bash as
if you’re a kid – with simpler demands and a more laid-back fancy (which I could) – it will
please to an extent. If the Lego charm
is enough for you, then it will entertain. Otherwise, it will underwhelm. You may even find the movie as boring as the tour
guide character in it.
