Read from 107 comments (68 from Reddit, 36 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) — 18 of them described how it moves.

➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. Around the middle it was tender and painful at the same time, which is the state people mean by being moved. Marked above the line: 1 that got a real laugh.

“"Pixels" es lamentablemente una mala película, sufre de un guión con muchos huecos argumentales y un humor bastante vago. La artística y los efectos especiales son uno de sus pocos fuertes pero sin una estructura que lo aproveche el resultado es que lo hecho no trascienda. Ésta producción de Happy Madison es el típico tropo de Adam Sandler que trata la historia de un personaje diferente e incomprendido que termina ganándose el corazón de todos a través de su carisma y habilidades.

“**Pixels is another dumb, fun Adam Sandler film that doesn’t deserve all the hate. If you like Sandler movies, this is a good one.** I have seen this movie on so many “Worst of all time” lists, and it does not belong there. It’s an Adam Sandler movie, so that should give you an idea of what to expect - a goofy comedy with some absurd characters doing something ridiculous. And I’m here for it! I enjoy Sandler movies, and I really enjoyed this one. The characters were funny. The plot entertaine”
