1/10
You'd think that CHRISTOPHER ROBIN is a rip-off of HOOK. Worse! It follows the format of a lot of modern live-action adaptations/remakes/reboots of old stories about animals/creatures who talk: It brings them to the real world so they can teach a workaholic parent a lesson. And it can't even do that right, since it takes an hour for the residents of the Hundred Acre Wood to come here. This bad pacing combined with mostly unfunny jokes overshadow the good performances by Ewan McGregor, Hayley Atwell, Bronte Carmichael, Jim Cummings and Brad Garrett. As usual in this sub-sub-genre, the residents of the Hundred Acre Wood constantly cause chaos and, due to their naivety, the viewer is supposed to find it cute even though it's actually infuriating. However, other movies use cynical humour to make the characters' lack of knowledge of the human things and other sweet elements from the original stories seem cheesy. This one tries to do that and simultaneously tries to keep a charming tone. Look, I didn't like any of the previous installments (for different reasons), but at least the scripts were consistent. Another trope of this sub-sub-genre is having the characters perform a hit song from 1970-present day in its entirety. I was relieved that WINNIE THE POOH and company didn't do that. It wouldn't have made sense, since these characters had already been seen in musical films so, if they were going to have a musical number, it would be an original song. Unfortunately, the new tracks are uninspired. There are many moments where characters do contrived things just to get "Family is more important than work" message across.

For example, when the title character has to leave a meeting and his boss says "What are you doing?!" He could've easily told the truth (his wife is outside and she said that there's an emergency) but, instead, he gives them a "It's time to do the right thing" look and leaves.
