I have a confession to make. I actually became a fan of Phineas and Ferb while the show was in its fourth and final season. I was already in my late 20s by then, but somehow, the series really got to me. And one of the characters I related to most was Candace Flynn. I mean, sure, she seemed to be painted as somewhat of a villain because she constantly wanted her brothers to be busted, but she also had some sympathetic qualities. And also, Ashley Tisdale always gave a hilarious vocal performance every time she screamed "Mom!" So after the show ended, of course I was excited that a new movie based on the show would be coming to Disney+, and that Candace would be heavily featured.
So far, I am on my fifth viewing of this movie! It is definitely that good! Obviously, having Candace be the center of the film was a great idea, and Ashley probably gave the performance of her life. I also really love all the callbacks to the original series, especially all the cameos. A discussion about Phineas and Ferb would not be complete without the songs, and once again, they knocked it out of the park, with highlights being "Such a Beautiful Day", "Adulting", and "Us Against the Universe". But what stole the show for me was Tiffany Haddish appearing as "The Sound Someone Makes When They Explode from the Waist Up" (which just so happens to sound like someone saying Candace's name), and every time it happened, it just kept getting funnier and funnier. Well, I know what I'm gonna do today: Watch it yet again.
