New Releases: Tony, The End Of Oak Street, The Wrong Girls and Paw Patrol

The review praises the film’s surreal neighborhood chaos and says its dinosaur parade helps a family connect through spectacle.

  • Director David Robert Mitchell's new film, The End of Oak Street, follows a 1980s suburban family mysteriously transported to the Cretaceous period where they must battle prehistoric creatures.
  • Set in 1982, the film channels Steven Spielberg-style adventure, featuring idyllic block parties that quickly devolve into chaos as the family struggles to survive a sudden dinosaur invasion.
  • Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor star as Denise and Greg Platt, parents protecting their children, Audrey and Brian, while navigating the sudden, dangerous shift in their neighborhood's reality.
  • Critics describe the 90-min film as a visually dexterous popcorn thriller, though some note the plot suffers from logical inconsistencies and a distended runtime despite committed performances.
  • Anticipated as a summer blockbuster, the movie relies on familiar genre tropes rather than original artistic intent, offering viewers a fun but ultimately uneven experience.
