Yeah it's a pretty basic story, but damnit all the story works. When it's not funny, it's still extremely charming and just damn likable. It uses wit and charm to convey it's humor and it works. The movie is just unbearably (no pun intended) funny, and it manages to be funny in a way that is clean and clever. Literally from the first minute of screen-time as I was settling in I had already started laughing. But nothing about it is inherently bad, at worst it's just standard in a movie that is otherwise really good.
It doesn't reinvent the wheel or anything, at it's core this is still a fairly standard family film about finding a place to belong, and I really didn't care for the central conflict or the villain. It was only after years of insistence that no, this time it's good, that I actually got around to seeing it is, it really is. Everything about it's CGI live-action family film hybrid screamed "we've done this before, and it was garbage" to me. When I saw the trailers, I just thought "oh great, more Garfield/Alvin and The Chipmunks bull****". It took me four years to get around to seeing it.
