Jackman-Led Sheep Mystery Falls Short of Magic
TL;DR
The Hollywood Reporter’s review of The Sheep Detectives praises Hugh Jackman’s charisma and a top-tier voice cast but says the family murder mystery doesn’t quite gel: a clever pre-credits moment with the MGM lion aside, the photoreal sheep feel off, the tonal mix is too dark for kids and too silly for adults, and the film never delivers the magic its premise promises.
