‘The End of Oak Street’ Is the Family vs. Dinosaur Adventure You Didn’t Know You Needed
If The End of Oak Street was just 100 minutes of Ewan McGregor smashing dinosaurs with a sledgehammer, it would be pretty great. If you then added in Anne Hathaway blasting at them with a massive shotgun too, things get taken up a notch. And when those dinosaurs are not in a theme park, but in a familiar-looking 1980s neighborhood because of time travel, well, that’s incredibly random, but we are all in.
