Based on the children’s TV shows about a Great Dane named Scooby-Doo, who, along with his teenage human friends, solves mysteries involving supposedly supernatural creatures, I found Scoob! to be a well-animated, fun adventure. It’s certainly not perfect, but it does have a rather engaging, silly central story and a watchable supervillain played by Jason Isaacs.

Also starring Zac Efron, Mark Wahlberg and Amanda Seyfried; the first twenty-five minutes of Scoob! didn’t have me as confident about how the rest of the movie would be. Thankfully, though, director Tony Cervone’s film did become more watchable.

Random thoughts that went through my mind as Scoob! played include:
‘This is all quite silly, but fun.’

‘Why is puppy Scooby’s nose so oversized?’

If you liked the Scooby-Doo TV shows, then you’ll probably enjoy Scoob! So give it a chance, should the mood for a silly, nostalgic escape surface.

Happy Film Loving,
