Film could have been better

[villarealfran · 7/10 · 30 June 2016]

I give this film 7 out of 10 because I thought it could have been better. Cora is a writer and knows how to keep a story going across more than one film. The script is worth 10 out of 10. However, when I watched the film I felt it would have been better served if Cora has made the film all in black in white. I think the subject matter of the film is too serious for the bright colors. The plot of the film is strong and the story line alone is addictive. Overall the voice acting is good too. I think that the direction the film took was more serious in nature and I prefer that when watching darker films like this one. I thought the cut out animation looked good and I appreciate not being force fed the same traditional animation seen in mainstream films. The film lost points from me because I wanted it to be black and white. The intro was black and white and it looked flawless. The rest of the film should have been in gray scale.

A story for adults needs that special oomph in it

10 out of 10 for two reasons. Cora Clifford included one of my favorite characters, Pa Quinton, from the book series. That was pretty bold considering who Pa Quinton is in the book series. For those of you who have never read the book series, I am posting spoilers. Don't read this film review if you are barely reading Kiss Me Goodbye or God and the Coyote for the first time. Pa Quinton is a serial killer and a full time attorney in the small fictional town Coyote, Arizona. Pa help funds the Catholic school, St. Mary's, and is a complete jerk with his son Elian. Pa and Elian are rascals that I love. The Pa and Elian relationship on film was similar to the book. I loved it that Pa got to be in this film because most animated filmmakers would not include him. Another character that was present in the film that I really like is Francis McAllen. Francis gets into trouble, she's beautiful, and she's stupid. I love watching Francis in any film because she is a train wreck and her dad is the town drunk.

A sequel that doesn't feel like one

This movie is a sequel to A Beating Heart and Cracked Ceiling. I like this movie because there are three good story lines in it. Sarah gets to be a teenager and a little girl in this movie. Gary and Belinda are so funny and I like it when Sarah has them. Sarah also has on screen heat with Professor Palm and Elian! Francis McAllen is strong again.In the movie, Francis is trying to be a cheerleader and get accepted by her peers. Her boyfriend Tom is a two face and sell out.Francis is not so invincible as she was in the earlier film. The character I hate the most is "Pa." Pa is an old hypocrite but he's interesting on film. I also like this film because all of the characters keep getting into trouble. The end is kind of sad too and I do feel bad for Francis.
