Sunshine Sketches is one of my favourite books. I found it wonderful in school and as a retiree, my fondness for the book remains.
The opening graphics were superb; the best I have ever seen. Therefore I had to rate a 10 (all going to the graphics).
There ends my positivity. The writing was awful and failed the book. It did not capture any of the subtle humour. The humour was so contrived it was not remotely funny and woefully failed Stephen Leacock.
The attempts at inclusion and political correctness ruined it. As a Canadian, I wish we either stay out of the movies, TV series business or hire people who know what they are doing.
And, please, leave Stephen Leacock alone. He doesn't need our help.
