Tricky People

About This Movie

Tricky People feels like a curious blend of educational message wrapped in a family-friendly package. The whole vibe is distinctly early late '90s, with a charmingly earnest tone. There’s this odd mixture of light-heartedness and underlying seriousness that keeps you engaged. The practical effects? Well, they lean into the whimsical, which fits the narrative of a young girl encountering the slippery 'tricky person' archetype through Reginald Charming. The pacing is a bit off in parts, perhaps a reflection of its PSA roots, but it serves the themes of safety and awareness quite well. Yello Dyno, the mascot, adds a quirky touch to the proceedings that gives it a unique flavor. Definitely a piece that stands out for its intent and execution, even if it stumbles here and there.
