We just watched two movies, and although they shared labeled “family,” that was all they shared. I’m glad I watched these two movies together because they reaffirmed by believe in the power of good writing (A belief with was never in question).
Flushed Away
117 minutes of laughter. I’ll admit it was childish slap-stick humor, but the writing was brilliant, so they made the old jokes and the classic love story seem hilarious and fresh.
TMNT
In a word: “Boo.” I love the Turtles. Donny is my boy. But this movie stunk. The opening was a rip-off of The Lord of the Rings (I honestly thought they were doing a parody). Leo had a Spiderman rip-off scene where he swung through the streets of New York. The dialogue was cheesy and the plot would have been great for a 30min weekday show, but not for a movie. And, in this “family” movie, Casey Jones’s biggest dilemma was whether or not he should marry the woman he is sleeping with!
