"Wreck-it Ralph" is one of the most frustrating films to come along in a while. For starters, the premise is absolutely fantastic. Taking us inside the secret world of video game characters after the kids leave the arcade is a completely fresh take on the "Toy Story" concept. The first half of this film is a riot, filled to the brim with creativity and some legitimately funny gags. The second half is a different story. The narrative turns to a "Candyland" style arcade game that centers around an obnoxious little girl (voiced by the insufferable Sarah Silverman). If that was one stop in the story it would've been fine, but most of the movie ends up taking place in that world and changes the film from a video game movie to a candy movie. There is a lot to love about this film, which makes the direction the story ultimately takes all the more disappointing.
