Our take

A Disney+ PG sequel about a cursed family vacation. Slapstick mishaps, an empty-car explosion gag and lots of oh-my-God style exclamations show up, without real violence, drugs or romance beyond kid crushes. Best for about 10 and up.

Uplifting themes

Family teamwork, resilience and empathy stay central Alexander and his relatives learn to support each other

Story (may spoil tone)

Eleven-year-old Alexander and his family embark on a dream Spring Break vacation to Mexico City only to have all their plans go terribly wrong when they discover a cursed idol.
