When an unexpected movie trailer suddenly made headlines in major media, countless viewers with the good memories of the words "family with children" may have a trace of excitement and expectation in their hearts.
However, the subsequent news was a little unexpected-it turned out that this was not the "family with children" we were expecting.
Officially launched in mainland cinemas on January 20, this new film that advertises family fun will show a story about a young technologist who cooperates with a talking dog on an adventure.
This may sound interesting, but for those viewers who are looking for Xia Donghai, Liu Mei, Xia Xue, Liu Xing and Xia Yu's family's relaxed and happy life, it seems a little out of place.
The cast includes Hollywood actress Megan Fox, actor Josh Duhamel, as well as domestic actors Lin Yongjian, Hou Minghao and rookies Kunlu Neia and Gabriel Bateman, directed by Jill Yogger, who directed "Ten Things I Hate You".
Such a Sino-American co-production film, with a star-studded cast and an international production, was expected to be warmly welcomed by the audience.
However, the audience's reaction didn't seem to buy it. After the release of the first trailer, many fans expressed their dissatisfaction and disappointment.
After all, in their memory, "family with children" means that the heartwarming sitcom starring Song Dandan, Gao Yalin, Yang Zi, Zhang Yishan and You Haoran is about the hilarious anecdotes in the daily life of the Xia family, not any sci-fi adventure stories related to dogs.
Another reason for the audience's dissatisfaction is that the film is not a completely new production. According to the information, "The Dog in the Family with Children" was originally called "Best Partner" and was released in the United States as early as 2020. This means that the release of the film in the mainland is actually a repackaging of a backlog of films.
The most criticized thing is that the film uses the popular IP name of "Family with Children" for publicity, but in fact, there are doubts about the issue of name rights.
It is reported that the first producer, the Chinese company China Television Meixing, once participated in the filming of "Family with Children", so it has the right to use this IP. In other words, they have the right to label any story as "a family with children," even if it has nothing to do with Xia Donghai and his family.
Such a marketing strategy undoubtedly makes many viewers feel deceived. On Douban and other rating platforms, viewers who have already watched this movie have given extremely low evaluations, generally between 1-2 stars, making more friends aware of the need to be vigilant about this movie.
At the end of the day, it seems that this big movie doesn't really capture the longing and nostalgia for the "family with children" sitcom in the hearts of the audience.
On the contrary, it gives people an important enlightenment: under the wave of business operations, we should cherish those old friends who really accompany us to grow up and stay in the warm moments in our memories.
The real reminiscence of "having children at home" may be to reopen those familiar TV episodes on a warm evening, laugh at those friendly characters, and experience the pure emotions that belong to us.
And for works like "The Dog in the House with Children", keep a little rational doubt, so that you won't buy a ticket but walk into a commercial trap.
