Verdict on Cleo
Cleo is a fun family adventure movie following a group of friends keeping themselves entertained during a winter break. It sees them splitting into two sides to have a fake snowball war. Along the way, they become closer and continue to grow up in ways they hadn’t imagined.
This ends up being a fun little movie that could be enjoyed by the whole family. It has comedy and highlights how important friendship is. This is all harmless fun showing the imagination of children during the holiday period when they need to keep themselves busy. Despite this, we will be left with an emotional gut punch as things start to get out of control.
Final Thoughts –Cleo is a fun family film with plenty of heart.
