Will the four of them able to solve the mystery involving Harry's death?
MY REVIEW Plot: 4.8/ 5.0 Be mindful not to fall asleep during the movie, or you might miss some points that will help to solve the mystery. The movie has a slow start and takes its own sweet time to build up, but the twists thrown into it makes it entertaining. 
Cast: 4.8/ 5.0 Every character played their part beautifully, especially Pikachu & Ryan Reynolds.
Will I watch it again: I would, with my nephews and nieces. The pictures are taken from IMDb and other sources on the Internet. Thank you.
