Everything feels off in this eco-friendly fable in which a 12-year-old boy (Zac Efron) searches for a "real" tree to impress earnest Audrey (Taylor Swift). The trees were wiped out by the foolish Once-ler and a wicked capitalist has exploited the town's lack of clean air for profit. The animation is bright and garish, the humour humourless and the romance lacks charm. A stinker.
