Super-Charlie

Despite being about fifty years older than it's demographic, I actually quite enjoyed this. Every century, a meteorite endowed with super-powers flies path the earth, and the only very recently born "Charlie" somehow manages to absorb it's green dust. Nothing is too obvious when he goes home with his writer mother, who is constantly glued to her laptop; his policeman father and his elder brother "Wille". Of course, there is soon a degree of little brother envy as these parents dote on their new arrival, but it is his sibling who discovers that at barely a week old, "Charlie" can talk! That's just the beginning of his quirks, and so soon the pair are on the trail of a gang who have caused their father considerable trouble over the years. All the while, the police are under pressure to buy some specially adapted uniforms that could make them into "Robocop" types, but fairly quickly we learn that the evil "Imperio" is up to a bit of sophisticated manipulation whilst it's moustachioed sidekick cunningly devises a pint-sized chair to essentially percolate the formidable powers of the young babe, so he can make himself an ultra-potent espresso. The story follows a predictable path, but along the way it does make a few salient points about obsessed parents, brotherly rivalry and mistrust whilst also proving that, in the end, family ought to come first. It's not really a film for young kids as some of the dialogue is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but the visual effects are quite good fun and the message it wishes to convey to children and parents alike are adequately wrapped up in a light-hearted, sci-fi, amiability that sees the two lads learn to communicate with each other without the need for a phone, or a tablet, or any form of social media at all. That's got to be a good thing.

Where's the original work gone?

Although the film is marketed as being based on Camilla Läckberg's popular children's books, the similarities are minimal. Critics have noted that the story, tone, and character development diverge significantly from the original source. Instead, the filmmakers have created an entirely new plot with science fiction elements and characters that don't appear in the book series. The film mainly retains the core idea of a baby with superpowers, but takes major creative liberties, making it seem as though the rights were acquired more for brand recognition than for faithful adaptation. The result is a story that could just as easily have been made without any connection to Läckberg's work.

Sad and confusing, Super Charlie as Marvel nonsense

The movie has nothing in common with the books and audiobooks about Super Charlie. My kid left early, sad and confused, because he didn't recognise the story at all.Movie Charlie has a silly backstory that's different to the books, and a scary criminal nemesis we've never heard of. Then there's the plodding 3 act structure, ripped off every Marvel movie. The film is made for an entirely different age group to the books, probably 10+ is about right. Charlie is caught up in sibling rivalry and betrayal, crime, and some scary violence. There's loads of flashy action and pumping music. It's also way too long for younger audiences with the movement, noise, heavy themes and complex plot. The cinema experience was overwhelming. Kids were leaving the theatre.Somebody saw a franchise opportunity in Super Charlie and they've obviously decided to ditch the younger kids who loved the books. We saw it in Swedish, perhaps it is made to appeal to American kids. But it's a sad move for a beloved character that could have been extended in sympathetic ways. No more Camilla Läckberg products in our house, sorry.
