Trolls World Tour is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Trolls World Tour does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Queen Poppy and Branch make a surprising discovery — there are other Troll worlds beyond their own, and their distinct differences create big clashes between these various tribes. When a mysterious threat puts all of the Trolls across the land in danger, Poppy, Branch, and their band of friends must embark on an epic quest to create harmony among the feuding Trolls to unite them against certain doom. Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake lead a cast with the timing to make it work. Trolls World Tour came out in 2020. What keeps Trolls World Tour from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Trolls World Tour. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Anna Kendrick sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
