Super Mario Bros (2023) Movie Review: A Fun and Heartfelt Adaptation That Nails the Nostalgia Factor

Welcome to this week's episode of From My Mom's Garage Podcast! In this episode, we're going to dive into the 2023 film Super Mario Bros.

The game follows the classic story of Mario and Luigi as they attempt to save Princess Peach from the evil Bowser. But this time, the movie takes a slightly different turn. The film features a talented cast including Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, and Jack Black as Bowser. The performances are solid, with each actor bringing their own unique spin to their respective characters. The chemistry between the actors is also great, making for some enjoyable and memorable scenes.

There are also plenty of nods to the video games throughout the film, including appearances from characters like Yoshi and Diddy Kong. The action sequences are well-done and entertaining, and the special effects are top-notch.

But perhaps the most surprising aspect of the film is its emotional depth. We see the characters struggling with their own personal demons, and there are some genuinely heart-wrenching moments. 

Overall, Super Mario Bros. is a fun and entertaining film that manages to capture the spirit of the video game franchise while also offering something new. It's a great movie for fans of the series, but even those who are unfamiliar with the games should be able to enjoy it. So grab some popcorn, put on your red hat, and get ready to jump into the Mushroom Kingdom
