While working underground to fix a water main, Brooklyn plumbers—and brothers—Mario and Luigi are transported down a mysterious pipe and wander into a magical new world. But when the brothers are separated, Mario embarks on an epic quest to find Luigi.

While it's nowhere near as thrilling as turtle tipping your way to 128 lives, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a colorful -- albeit thinly plotted -- animated adventure that has about as many Nintendos as Nintendon'ts.

Wahoo!

'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' has received mixed reviews. Praises include vibrant animation, nostalgic references, and enjoyable voice performances, particularly Jack Black as Bowser. Critics highlight the film's fast pacing, shallow plot, and reliance on fan service rather than a compelling story. Some find the humor hit-or-miss and the character development lacking. Despite these criticisms, many acknowledge it as a fun, if unspectacular, experience for fans and families.
