Guest (Male): I'm Bowser Junior, and I'm going to be taking my father now!

Guest (Male): Hi, I'm Luigi!

Adam Holz: In the new sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, now in theaters, everyone's favorite Italian plumber brothers return for another round of video game inspired cinematic action. When last we left Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach, their nefarious nemesis, Bowser, a raging turtle dragon, had not only been defeated but shrunk to just a few inches tall. These days, that once formidable foe is painting and getting in touch with his feelings.

Wouldn't you know it, his son, Bowser Junior, also has universe-dominating plans, and those plans involve creating a Death Star-like cannon called the Star Reactor. To power it, Bowser Junior plans on capturing Princess Rosalina, known as the mother of stars. If Bowser Junior can harness her cosmic powers, he can do anything.

Guest (Male): Behold! I made a masterpiece for Princess Peach. What do you think?

Guest (Male): Love the colors!

Guest (Male): It's trash. How dare you look at my masterpiece and say that!

Adam Holz: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie builds on its predecessor's success. This film isn't quite as intense or foreboding as The Super Mario Brothers Movie was, but make no mistake: Bowser Junior still takes his maniacal villain role very seriously, especially his plot to enslave poor Princess Rosalina as a power source.

This film still features plenty of lovable heroes and storytelling flair, as well as positive messages about love, family, and sacrifice. We're giving The Super Mario Galaxy Movie a four out of five for family-friendliness. Read the full review at pluggedin.com/radio, and be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
