Granted, when I sat down to watch this Disney family movie, I wasn't really expecting all that much. Sure, Disney is not known for putting out rubbish, but still, the concept of this movie seemed a bit bland. But I opted to give it a go, so I sat down and watched "Under Wraps".
And I will say that writers William Robertson and Alex Zamm actually managed to string together a rather wholesome and entertaining family movie. And yeah, I was entertained by this 2021 movie, so there is also something for a mature audience to be enjoyed in "Under Wraps".
The storyline turned out to be rather enjoyable and actually nicely enough written. Sure, this was a family movie, so it wasn't a scary one. But at the same time then "Under Wraps" would provide a younger audience with enough of a rush to be suitable for a great Halloween movie.
The acting in "Under Wraps" was good, and I will say that the actors and actresses all performed quite well here and contributed to the overall feel of the movie.
Visually then "Under Wraps" was also good. Sure, this is not an over-the-top CGI joy ride like other movies that are focused on mummies, but the practical effects used in "Under Wraps" were sufficient and good enough for a movie such as this. What mattered here was the fact that it was believable and watchable for the entire family.
If you have children, then this is definitely a movie that I can warmly recommend you sit down to watch with them, especially around Halloween.
My rating of "Under Wraps" lands on a six out of ten stars.
