Is the 1997 DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) "Under Wraps" really one of the worst DCOMs? According to EOnline, it's the ninth worst DCOM to have ever been made.
The movie is aimed at a slightly older audience, like me, but it never goes out of its way to show that. It has believable characters, like Amy, the sarcastic one of the trio of friends who, inevitably find and awake a mummy, whom they call Harold. They embark on a journey to save Harold from turning into dust but instead learn a lesson about love.
The main character, Marshall, has trouble accepting that his mom is in a relationship with someone who is not his father. After seeing what troubles Harold, played by the voice of Patrick Star from the tv show "Spongebob Squarepants", Bill Fagerblake, goes through to see his love for the final time, he comes to a conclusion that his mom should be able to love whomever she wants while she still can and accepts Ted (who is also played by Bill Fagerblake), the step-father figure of the film.
It's so weird to see a lesson learned by a character almost 20 years ago that some of us are still learning today. It's so important to accept that people can't help who they fall in love with.
I had a good time watching this film. I genuinely had some laughs and felt a little emotional when saying goodbye to Harold.
I would recommend this movie, but I can see that it's not everyone's cup of tea. It has many plotholes but is an overall pretty good watch.
