00:43If tracking is any indication, Super Mario has every chance of becoming the first blockbuster of 2023.
00:48Not only is the PG-rated film whipping up interest among families, it's also appealing to the generations of adults who grew up playing Nintendo's wildly popular Mario games, or those who still play.
00:59The animated comedic adventure sees Chris Pratt voice Mario, and Charlie Day voice his brother Luigi.
01:05The movie follows the pair's characters as they are transported to the magical Mushroom Kingdom and separated.
