Grootzilla to the rescue
Andulamb - wrote on 10/02/20
A boy gets his mind off his dying mother by creating an imaginary friend in the form of a giant monster Groot. The friendship starts off on the wrong foot/root when Grootzilla rudely demands a story swap, although he does offer a generous three-to-one exchange rate. Grootzilla then visits the boy every night to share his next tale, at the odd time of 12:07 a.m. for no reason whatsoever. The movie trudges through Grootzilla's stories about all the times it saved the day with actions rather than storytelling, with the lessons from those stories being shoehorned into all of the boy's problems except for that of his dying mother, and with frequent reminders that the boy's mother is dying. All ends well when the boy discovers his mother's shared love of unnecessary CGI.
