Sorry folks, I wanted to like this movie. Hell, I wanted to love it. But The Storysteins is a snooze fest. If you're expecting a departure from Spielberg's typical style of ultra satin finish shine and saccharin sweet milieu you will be disappointed. That's all it is. Same schlock same manipulation same ole same ole. The story is slow and plodding with endless stops to say look at how wonderful I am. Cringe dialogue so bad we haven't seen the likes of since 1995's Showgirls. Movies happen to people who can make them. Good lord who wrote this schlock? Don't bet on this one for award season. We've seen it before.
