Pixar’s “Elemental” is a mediocre but good-hearted romantic comedy | Review

''Elemental,' which releases in theaters on June 16, once again drops us into a world where colorful, talking blobs confront big ideas via comic misadventures in a metropolis that mimics and critiques our own.'

In “Elemental,” the colorful blobs represent the four traditional elements — fire, water, earth and wind — which are all crammed into a place called Element City. Fiery protagonist Ember Lumen lives up to her name with a temper that literally blows up, but also a passion to please her father, Bernie . She can’t fake a customer-service smile, but Bernie still wants her to take over the family shop in Fire Town, which serves and sells things that are on fire.
