"World's Best" Delivers a Refreshing and Inspiring Coming-of-Age Story.

"World's Best" is a hip-hop musical family film set in contemporary New Jersey that tells the story of a math whiz gearing up for the mathlympics competition. The film reveals itself to be an origin story with daddy issues reminiscent of most of the MCU’s characters. The brisk pacing and deft handling of the ups and downs of ‘tweenhood make the emotions earned, and the playful tone accommodates the more serious reveals and complications nicely. Ambudkar and Magnus’ chemistry goes a long way toward making the film work. Now on Disney+.
