‘The End of Oak Street’ Review: Don’t Tell Mom the Velociraptors Are Widespread
Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor defend the suburbs from man-eating dinosaurs in this toothless monster flick The post ‘The End of Oak Street’ Review: Don’t Tell Mom the Velociraptors Are Widespread appeared first on TheWrap .
"The End of Oak Street" presents a tale of an affluent, isolated neighborhood plagued by velociraptors, turning Pleasantville into Unpleasantville. The film stars Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor as Denise and Greg Platt, whose marriage is crumbling under financial strain and personal dissatisfaction. The situation takes a prehistoric turn when the entire neighborhood is transported back to the era of dinosaurs.
Director David Robert Mitchell emphasizes the film's gory dinosaur attacks, which overshadow any meaningful character development or exploration of the characters' inner lives. The film's attempt to delve into the fissures in Greg and Denise's relationship and the broader societal issues of suburban hypocrisy falls flat, ultimately delivering a shallow and unconvincing narrative.
