The five trolls Floyd, John Dory, Spruce, Clay and Baby Branch are in a highly
successful boy band called Brozone. They disband after a concert that goes
wrong. It's not just the band that splits up. The five brothers go their
different ways.
15 years later Branch is no longer a baby. He's in a steady relationship with
Queen Poppy. He hears that Floyd has been kidnapped by giant trolls, referred
to as bergens. Floyd is trapped inside a diamond that channels his singing
ability into the wearer. The only thing that can break the diamond open is
perfect family harmony, so he goes on a quest to find his brothers and sing a
song to free Floyd.
As you can tell from my brief description, it's a whimsical tale, but it has
an overwhelming charm, especially for children. My grandson Oliver loved it, but the
biggest reaction was from a girl two seats away. She was leaning forward on
her seat for most of the film, and she couldn't stop laughing. I didn't laugh
out loud, but I still found the film amusing.
The songs were sung by Justin Timberlake and various boy bands. That's not my
sort of music. Normally I would have turned away, but in the context of the
film it was perfect. Heavy metal wouldn't have been suitable.
It's a film I want to see again.
