Clifford's Really Big Movie (2004)
Very good for young children
I took my 4 year old daughter to see Clifford. She loved it. I would recommend the film to anyone with pre-school children. No scary parts, kept her attention, nothing offensive. When we got home all she wanted to do was play her Clifford game on the computer.
Older children would be bored (obviously). I take my kids to see movies about once a month, and there are times that I am uncomfortable with the content of the film. So often any more the movies are marketed towards kids of all age groups and contain bathroom humor and suggestive material. Clifford's Really Big Movie was marketed properly and the delivered product was predictable. I felt it was well worth the money and will purchase the DVD when it is released.
I got a lump in my throat after the last scene. The words "For John".
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
Cute film...
I purchased the DVD for my kids. Like kids do, they watch it again and again. Some movies are hard to watch constantly. I end up memorizing every line. A lot of times I just memorize the audio because the video is being played in the back seat of the car. Personally, I truly enjoyed this film. I have to credit Jim Carrey - he is a gifted comedian. I chuckle through this film quite like I chuckle through Robin Williams in Popeye. So there are those of you out there that just hate this movie. I can't agree with you. 4 out of four stars or 9 out of ten. Cindy Lou shouldn't have sung.
The Cat in the Hat (2003)
So disappointed...
I took my son (6) for his birthday and my daughter (4) to see this movie with great anticipation. I am a huge Mike Myers fan, and I truly enjoyed Grinch. I was so terribly disappointed. I can't help but think that the people giving this movie the thumbs-up work for the studio. My kids were begging to leave a half-hour into the movie. I had faith that it would get better and forced them to watch, but I wish I hadn't. Like other users, I felt that the crude humor was inappropriate and unfunny. Mike Meyers is such a talent, I was embarrassed for him. I wouldn't watch this movie again if it were completely free. I think time with your kids would be better spent reading the book and taking a walk in the park.
It's so tempting to fall for the marketing - DON'T DO IT!
