The Fabelmens is a contriving and classically fun tale which is loosely based on Steven Spielbergs life in which I believe a unique and quirky take is brought on the classic coming of age story.

The plot is nothing to write home about as it has your very classic trops such as affairs, high school bullies, and young love. However, it is captured in such a dramatic way that makes it incredibly endearing to watch. It is so quickly able to go from serious to funny and has moments where you don't know how your supposed to think Plot:0.75/1

This is some of the most pristine acting you will see in a motion picture and there really is no weak link throughout the film except perhaps Seth Rogan in his role as Bennie. The MVP of the film must be Michelle Williams for her incredible performance of Mitzi but props must be given to all actors especially the child actors. Acting:1/1

This classic story is told so dynamically to the point where a story this classic should not be this entertaining but it is because of Spielberg's ability to put you right in the heart of the story. This lovable but haunting story told through the perceptions of so many makes it such a unique tale and one that it becomes incredibly challenging to find if there really is a bad guy Storytelling:1/1

As mentioned previously, there is nothing too terribly creative about the film but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable to watch. However, what makes it creative is the fact that it doesn't need to utilize crazy twists. It just tells the truly heartbreaking tales that come with life Creativity:0.75/5

While there is nothing that adds immensely to the film, there is nothing that takes away from the enjoyment of the film. The score is nice, the cinematography is effective, and it created a nice environment. The only issue I have with this is that there were times in which I felt the film didn't truly capture the 1950's aspect the film was based in Other Factors:0.75/1

Overall, the Fablemens is a tale that everyone can enjoy and also one that everyone can relate to. It has characters that you can relate to as well as many characters to root for. In a tale about nothing, in a way it is about everything Overall: 4.25/5.
