Armen (Michael Cera) is a nerd hermit land crab in New Jersey. He and his meathead friends live under the boardwalk with the other townies. During summer times, the ocean crabs arrive for their vacations. Ramona (Keke Palmer) comes with her family, but her mother insists that they stay in the ocean resort section. Ramona has a wandering heart and Armen falls in love.

This is a lesser animated movie from Paramount Animation. I do like the general concept of a townie crab falling for the exotic ocean crab. I'm not completely sold on the Jersey shore stereotypes. It's mildly humorous with partial annoyance. Michael Cera is doing Woody Allen and again, I'm not completely sold on it. This is a shorter movie. It feels like it could do more. I like the rollercoaster section. It's fine for a family flick.

Honestly I do not know what humans want seriously.....people have been complaining all year about the movies released this year so far and here comes a movie that has everything, humor, love, amazing stuff and people give it a five! I give this movie a 100 period! People will never be pleased and that is just a fact. I think though all the hate comes from people getting tired of Hollywood, yes I said it.. the movies are not that good anymore! So maybe that is why fans or weirdos want to put down almost every movie released just to spread negativity about the industry! They are paving the way for South Korea haha! Of course there are the bad ones seriously but this is not one of them. Period!

So much better than I was expecting. My kid was watching it mesmerized for the whole film. So cute! It looks so good, and moves so well. Very Premium. Well worth adding to the repeat viewing list for the whole family. Great animation, characters, unique setting. Lots to come back for.

The arm scene was perhaps shocking, but I think they get away with it.

I wish we'd seen more about this sooner. It seems to have been overlooked by Paramount. But with any luck more people will see it on Paramount plus.

Give this Director more fun stuff to make! Well done to the whole team. These days most animated films disappoint, but this one nailed it!
