## Summary

The End of Oak Street, starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, is now streaming on HBO Max. The review describes it as an entertaining, though imperfect, return for director David Robert Mitchell, mixing suburban family drama with a dinosaur invasion.

Set in 1982, the film follows the Platt family as their neighbourhood is transported into an ancient jungle filled with unusual creatures. Denise and Greg’s strained marriage and their children’s concerns give the story emotional stakes, while the family’s efforts to rescue their dog lead into action sequences and major surprises. The film reportedly had a budget of about $90 million and earned $122 million at the box office.
