Hear me out on this one: "Trolls Band Together" is genuinely good and you should watch it.
"But this is just dreck for my kids," you say. "I can't handle Justin Timberlake as a troll again," you plead. "This movie would be better if it catered specifically to my millennial sense of late 1990s and early 2000s nostalgia," you whine.
First, it is a kids' movie, but it's also got a few jokes for the adult crowd. Second, the Justin Timberlake troll does, unfortunately, have some bangers. And third, this movie literally has *NSYNC as trolls in it. I cannot make this up. The song they sing on the film's soundtrack — and that a voice cast of Timberlake, Daveed Diggs, Eric Andre, Kid Cudi, and Troye Sivan also sing in the film — is unfairly good. Unfairly good! That's not even mentioning the Betty Spaghetti-like villains, who slay, or the fact that Anna Kendrick continues to dominate the pop covers game like she has since 2012's "Pitch Perfect."
Just watch "Trolls Band Together." Trust me.
