And I watched it for similar reasons. I have a smallish child who loves Mario and explaining why anything seen in the movie was a bad thing was less effort and more likely to work than trying to reason with and explain politics to a small child about why we wouldn't be.
And I had to do basically none of that because it had almost none of the "woke" elements people kept telling me were so overt were there whatsoever, outside of a throwaway line about clearing the course in one try.
But its still a kid's movie and its not worth watching outside the context of bringing a child to it, because its not really that good. Passable is what I'd call it, family night watch instead of top tier cinema.
