See the films the platforms disagree about most →In a suburban fantasy world that has lost its sense of magic, two elf brothers embark on an extraordinary quest to spend one more day with their late father. On the day of the younger brother's sixteenth birthday, they are given a magical staff and a spell that can bring their father back for 24 hours. The spell is only partially completed, and they must find another gem to fully restore him before time runs out.

Highest-rated sitcoms by Metacritic users: scores with the samples attached
Twenty-five stored user scores. Small tallies stay visible, ties stay ties, and the recommendations concern the comedy rather than voter stereotypes.

Highest-rated sitcoms on Metacritic: the stored critic scores
Twenty-five Metascores from the catalogue, with review counts and a clear distinction between a season, a whole series and an approval percentage.
