In “Christopher Robin,” a 2018 movie starring Ewan McGregor, Christopher Robin, the boy who had countless adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood, has grown up and lost his way. Winnie the Pooh ventures into London to turn a middle-aged Christopher Robin’s life around with the help of Piglet, Eeyore, and Tigger. Robin is now stuck in an oppressive white collar job that prevents him from spending time with his family. Is this a film for kids, as well as adults? Here’s what others are saying:

Excited about visiting Asia for the first time but nervous about meeting Nick’s family, Rachel is unprepared to learn that Nick has neglected to mention a few key details about his life. It turns out that he is not only the scion of one of the country’s wealthiest families but also one of its most sought-after bachelors. Being on Nick’s arm puts a target on Rachel’s back, with jealous socialites and, worse, Nick’s own disapproving mother (Michelle Yeoh) taking aim. And it soon becomes clear that while money can’t buy love, it can definitely complicate things.
