THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE

★ ★ 1/2

— Chris Hewitt, Star-Tribune

PG, 92 minutes. Lisbon.

Resourceful plumbers Mario and Luigi look and — depending on whether you thought they’d have an Italian accent or a Brooklyn accent that occasionally slips into pretend Italian — sound just like you’d expect them to. Their adventures in the movie are fairly clever extensions of the way they behave in the enduring game. There are lots of obstacle courses, sudden height shifts, invisible bridges (“Oh, these bricks are just floating here?” Mario asks, in a wink to players who know how to maneuver him across them) and the ability to borrow characteristics from other species, such as cats.
