★★★ · Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto · Spuzz · 2015-12-10

Although this film starts out REALLY strongly by showing kids playing in slums with whatever they could come up with, it quickly loses it when the music and most especially, the narration comes up. Play Street deals with the Police action league's efforts to get kids off the street and well, start playing on them. We do get to see kids playing, doing activities and the like, but it's bogged down by somewhat odd music and Mr Roboto narrating. Still worth the view for the images, especially at the beginning.
