Dennis Tanner: Did I give you permission to be down here? Let me think! No. I did not!

On further study the "contract" contains unusual contractual terms and funny tidbits that foreshadow the movie plot: The movie has an overarching theme about agreeing blindly to terms of service, after all.

Featured review
Great family movie!
I'm baffled a bit by the other reviews and was nearly going to not give this movie a go but I'm so glad I did! I watched with the whole family and even though it was longer than most movies my kids would sit through, they loved it.
It was so odd in times that it actually made the movie more fun to watch- there were several times we were laughing out loud at the fantastic weirdness of it all!
I'm someone who watches a movie almost every night and visits the cinema weekly and found this a really enjoyable watch so I would definitely give it a go if you're thinking about it and don't worry, all those things that seem odd in the beginning end up making sense in the end!
A great film - well done!
P.s I didn't find the movie that dark, there are a couple of scenes that might be a bit scary that my youngest (5) was a little worried about initially, but ended up being fine with.
