The only thing this had differently was the voice acting was easily the worst thing about it where only like three celebs were trying, and somehow Jack Black was in 3rd place, where you don't see the character talking you see Chris Pratt just collecting a paycheck as he sits in a booth and "acts" "Italian." The amount of references this movie has was a little annoying. I'm all for easter eggs in films, but when the first 30 minutes are nothing but those it shows they're more interested in filling every frame with small touches rather than looking at the big picture of the motion picture.
I knew it wouldn't be great, but holy crap was it a bit of a slog to get through.
