Review: I always go into a John Lassiter movie wondering if this will be the time that he messes up, if this will be the time that Disney gets the better of him and he makes something like “Sharks” or “Shrek”. But, just like every other time, I left the theater feeling like I had just seen something special. This movie, like most of the movies he makes, tends to be able to be viewed by two different audiences. Kids (of course) and Adults (mostly couples). He can make the film appeal to adults without trying to put crude jokes in the dialog and hope the kids don’t understand it and he can make it appeal to kids without throwing so much movement, color and all out chaos that they act like they just ate an entire box of Rice Crispy Treats cereal (yes it does exist and yes it is delicious). The best way I can sum up a Lassiter film is to borrow a saying from my wife, “He treats kids like small adults”. The movie was full of comedy, had a strong sense of adventure and was one of the most…..correction…WAS the most romantic movie of 2010. I’m not going to tell you about the movie cause I don’t want to take away anything from the experience of seeing it for yourself.
Life Lessons: Throughout the movie there were many talking points that you can have conversations with your kids about among which are: Lying, Deception, Selfishness, Manipulation, Kidnapping and Sadness.
Summary: Great movie that I will be buying as soon as it is available on DVD
Would I Watch This Again: It would be a sure bet that I will.
